8 goodgymers represting Kingston, Merton and Wandsworth during this bank holiday weekend took time to drop off items for their local food bank to help those that struggle in their vicinity.

GoodGym Merton once again stepped in to assist at Jubilee Square as Goodgym Kingston's schedule is fairly packed.

After a bit of litter picking Anna and Jade worked on the sticky situation with weed-ridden beds whilst Rachael, Emily and Rufu teamed up with shovels and rakes to spread woodchippings over the area.

There was also time to put up the new notice boards and head to the pub for an impromptu drink and chat about all things Goodgym. Congratulations to Rufu on your 10th task and we will see you in the Taskforce team very soon 🤞.

It was a last-minute change of plans, but that didn’t stop this dedicated GoodGym crew from getting out and spreading the word about Kingston’s newest community initiative—Park Play!

With the Albany session cancelled, we quickly regrouped and set our sights on Fairfield Recreation Ground, ready to let the locals know that Saturday mornings were about to get a whole lot more fun.

Splitting into teams, we tackled the nearby streets, armed with flyers and boundless enthusiasm. Jana, Rachel, and Raquel formed one squad, Luke, Anna, and Martel took on another route, while Dave, Emma, and Clare covered even more ground. The mission? Get those flyers through as many letterboxes as possible—without losing any fingers to enthusiastic canine guardians!

Top tip of the night? Use a wooden spoon to safely post through letterboxes. Unfortunately, we had none. So, with a mix of courage and caution, we did it the old-fashioned way.

Despite the clear skies, a sharp chill in the air had us all working at double speed. But nothing warms a GoodGym session like teamwork, good vibes, and a post-flyering trip to the pub! Drinks were raised, food was enjoyed, and plans were made for the next adventure.

Park Play is set to bring people together for fun and games every Saturday—so spread the word, and we’ll see you there!
