We were due to help our friends at GROAD get their new venue ready at GreenWorks 🛠️. But Andrea got held up at their storage facility, so all we could manage was a spot of weeding outside. 🌿😅

But as GGers, when life gives you lemons 🍋... we head to the pub(for grown up lemonade)! The group finished early and made it to the social double quick, where Ben (despite his jet lag ✈️😴) had organised a quiz for us. It was a quizzical turn of events, but a wonderfully fun one!

GG Lambeth showed its competitive side (well, some of us did 👀), and our two teams took 1st 🥇 and 3rd 🥉 on the podium!! 🥳 Clearly we're as sharp with our brains as we are with our trowels 🧠

Join us next month at the social, when we'll be spending our winnings 💰 and making full use of the karaoke facilities 😱🎤🎙️ You have been warned!

A lovely evening, fun friends to share it with and another great task well done(ish)! 🧰❤️

Who was there: RJ 🌟, Amona 🌟, Yianny, Katie, Lucy, Tilly, Jo, Fi, Adam and Rich 💪🏼

🌟 = welcome to your first GoodGym session RJ & Amona we were delighted to have you with us, you rooted for us and it bloomed into a great night! 🌸🥰

At Groad's Open House, cleared-out cupboards turn into cheers. Donations are sorted, shared and snapped up by those who need them most - proving a little decluttering can deliver a whole lot of happiness.

GoodGym Lambeth was back out in force this week, and honestly? We absolutely loved that one. 🍃

Our superstars assembled at Papa’s before splitting into two crack squads — one team collected a fresh batch of shiny new flyers, while our early birds grabbed the older versions and hit the streets immediately. Two groups, one mission, zero chill. 😤💪

This week we were proudly raising awareness for our brilliant friends at GROAD, and the legend that is Andrea had given us a full briefing on exactly where to focus our energies. Consider it road-tested intel. 🗺️🤓

Before we set off, a few of our big-hearted bunch noticed a vulnerable woman at Papa’s and made sure she got home safely — because that’s just who we are. ❤️

New member Pravina joined the group this week - delighted to have you with us!!

The rest of the crew cracked on, and we’re delighted to report every single road on the plan got covered. Mission: absolutely, undeniably, magnificently accomplished. 😱🤩

With the streets well and truly flyered, it was time for the real reward — the monthly social at The Landor for drinks, food, and the kind of chat that makes all those km worth it. 🍾🥂

Same time next week? We’ll be there. Obviously. 😎

Yesterday, four Goodgymmers went to St Faiths to help Andrea from GROAD load the van ready to distribute clothes to rough sleepers. Apart from a few runaway bobbins, everything went to plan and very quickly everything was packed away in the van. Nice one team! 🙌

Daryl, Emma, Gemma, Isaac, Lydia, Paulin and Sam met up with Andrea shortly after 19:00 outside Zimbabwe House and Charing Cross Police Station.

They weren't there to be diplomatic or to be arrested...they came out to do good by helping unload the Get Rid Of And Donate (GROAD) van with items that the team helped pack up yesterday at St. Faith's Community centre. From jumpers to jackets and suitcases to shoes, everything that Andrea had been collecting for her rough sleepers project since the last time she did this (in May), they helped display it on the rails of the Charing Cross Police Station. It was a bit hectic with the rough sleepers grasping at anything that they wanted to seize their hands on. Yet, despite the odd rude person, most were respectful and grateful for receiving what the public had donated for them. It was a full circle moment for many of the GG Southwark members from recieving and sorting out donations on a Sunday to giving them out to those who need it the most on the last Tuesday of the month. ❤️

Within 45 minutes, everything was gone and what was left was left out as eventually someone would come along and take it for themselves. Nothing is wasted.

The team made quick work of packing the van and sorting the remaining clothes into boxes for GROAD
