This special group - Imogen, Jackie, John, Siobhan, and Steve - made a visible difference on this spring evening.

Hidden just south of Gospel Oak station, Lismore Circus Community Woods is a patch of wild green that's been cared for by local volunteers for nearly 30 years. Lush and unique, it's a spot of wild (and communal) sanctuary :)

Having been welcomed by Suza, our wonderful (community champion) host, we swiftly got going with our evening task.

A mature block of Pyracantha - which is often known as Firethorn - needed a gentle trim and tidy. Cue many secateurs trimming and chopping, amidst stories and laughter (and even friendly passersby complementing our good work!)

Thank you, everyone, for your time and energy - it was lovely to see you all - and you made a visible difference to this special community space :)

8 GoogGym folk caught the (sun-filled) morning worm today :)

5.5 gentle miles + post running coffees + many laughs and much wonderful conversation :)

Thank you, everyone!

This special group of eight GoodGym folk caught the best of the morning sunshine today, and as they did they also gifted flowers and blooms to the community at Ingestre Road Estate.

Across 90 active and happy minutes, nine recycled planters (from a fancy complex in Battersea) were filled with gravel, lining, compost, and perennials :)

Thank you, everyone, for your time and energy this morning! It was just great to see you!

There is a special community that meets - in an unsuspecting basement - on Tottenham Court Road every Wednesday during the year's colder months.

Orchestrated by the brilliant Brooke and the team (including the super kind Russell) at the American International Church, different community groups come together to cook, build beds, and make a home for an evening. 💚

The C4WS Homeless Project provides warm respite from the streets and a supportive step towards stable accommodation.

Since October, our wonderful GoodGym folk have been setting up dining rooms, assembling camp beds, and finding out the best way to fight with a duvet cover.

And last night was no different ☺️

Our lovely group - of Alex, Auriela, Caitlin, Gosia, Jackie, John, Louise, Siobhan, and Steve - worked with aplomb and speed, and all whilst sharing stories and laughter ♥️

We'll certainly be back as soon as the evenings sharpen and darken 💛

Thank you, everyone, for bringing your energy and time last night!!
