The sun came out to greet the GoodGymers as we met at the fittingly named Assembly by the Woolwich riverside. Seven of us picked up our Sunday task to clean up a section of the Thames Path.

A very warm welcome to Vicky who is a regular clean-up champion for the area, joining the Greenwich gang for the first time, and even ran back to get us more litter picks and bin bags.

As we made our way down the Thames Path, no piece of rubbish could escape our youngest member Arthur's keen eye, as he scooted up and down the path while the rest of us tried to keep up!

Sweeping our way to a little clearing which the tide finds a convenient dumping ground, our very own GoodGym Barbie Ceci found a litter Barbie too, on her second Good Deed for the day. After making a good dent in the neverending mountain of litter, we retired to the cosy Woolwich Works for coffee, muffins and a natter.

Mission accomplished, with a pledge to do more, reminding ourselves that every little counts!

Great work everyone and see you at the next task!

On Wednesday we're at Dee's Childcare to put up Christmas lights and next Sunday we're back at Mycenae for some gardening and coffee 😁

The weather was awful—wet, with light rain and cold start but everyone stayed positive, showed commitment, and made the event a success anyway.

A Greenwich Maritime start for tonight's group run meant another chance to see the fab light show on a chilly November evening. 10 GoodGym-ers then made their way to St Richard's Church in Charlton.

We had a great selection of tasks, including outdoor weeding, plus cleaning upstairs with some vacuuming, mopping and dusting. Others in the group grabbed some tools and got on with some maintenance jobs fixing door handles and push plates. Contrary to popular belief we CAN handle the screws...

Tasks complete, everything turned out Hunky - Doory as we ended our mission with tea and cake to celebrate Jenny's whopping 500th good deed!

Welcome back to Aman for his second task with us- great to have you in the team!

Great work all & catch up soon 😃

Next week we're putting up Christmas decorations at Dee's Childcare!

This morning, six wonderful GoodGymers joined the regular Hornfair Junior parkrun volunteer team to help make another event run smoothly. From cheering to guiding to keeping everything on track, everyone brought great energy and big smiles.

Another great Sunday morning spent supporting the juniors, the community, and each other. 🫶🏼

It’s Saturday once again which can only mean one thing… parkrun day! This morning, three awesome GoodGymers stepped up to help at our local Charlton parkrun, proving once again that volunteering is just as energising as running.

Marta kicked things off with the pre-event set-up, making sure everything was in place before the first footsteps arrived. Jenny embraced the role of parkwalker, encouraging everyone along the course with calm steps and bright spirits. And me? I was proudly stationed as one of the marshals, cheering, directing, and soaking in the atmosphere.

It was a foggy start—so foggy I couldn’t help but say, “What the fog?!” But despite the misty mood, the weather stayed dry and mild—perfect conditions for a parkrun adventure.

By the end, I could honestly say: what a great way to start my morning and my weekend.

If you’ve ever thought about volunteering at parkrun, give it a try! There are loads of roles, all simple to learn and hugely rewarding. Whether you’re setting up the course, guiding runners, walking with participants, or cheering from a marshal point, everyone can get involved—and it’s highly recommended.

See you next Saturday for more miles, smiles. ~Cecilia D. 🍀
