Crystal Palace Report written by Fiona (She/her)
Lovely to be able to run to, and complete (almost) a whole task, before it got dark. We started off meeting at the Bridge House, talking about the change of season as the clocks changed this weekend. Votes were mostly for spring and new life, blossoms, bugs, flowers, and how we're more likely to see new and returning people out on tasks now that evenings feel longer. We took a mini detour across Crystal Palace Park, watching people, dogs, and birds making the most of the weather, then arrived panting at the top of Anerley Hill to meet John and our other GoodGym taskers at the museum entrance. After pondering over whether Brunel might have tagged his work somewhere in the tower, we split into little groups - weeding, sweeping, digging and sorting rubble and rubbish from soil which can be used on local gardening projects. In fact, we learned how some soil from this water tower was used for a raised bench area in South Norwood Country Park recently. We all agreed that the best tasks (and to be honest, most of our tasks!) are the ones where we can immediately see the difference we've made in a short time :)

St Christopher's Hospice Charity Shop 🛍️ on the Crystal Palace Triangle is a regular haunt for GoodGym Crystal Palace. We returned this week to do our usual tidy at a very welcome indoor task!
Before making the epic journey uphill, we met at the home of GG Crystal Palace, the Bridge House pub, where we introduced ourselves and answered this week's question - 'What's your favourite thing about Irish culture?' (it being St Patrick's Day ☘️). Consensus on Guinness 0.0% as a breakout star of the mid-2020s!
We jogged up Crystal Palace Park Road on the outer edge of the Park and across the Triangle to meet Theresa. Cat got stuck into steaming clothes ready to be hung, James was reunited with his pal Henry the Hoover for the third time, while the rest of the team set off on tidying the clothes on racks, giving the shelves a dust down and polishing the mirrors.
With a good 30 minutes of work we'd given the shop a spritz and were ready to head home.
Fab work, GoodGymers!

Colette Dollin has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Colette is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

Colette Dollin completed their first run in a new area.
Curious? Colette has just run their first session in another area. For that explorative spirit Colette is awarded the scout badge. A Scout is trustworthy

Tonight was a double deed day. Two tasks for two top local organisations - St Hugh's Community Centre and Living Well who provide a food bank and support to those who need it.
We kicked off at the Bridge House with a belated fave pancake question. I didn't know some people didn't like pancakes?!
Also, shout out to Colette for joining us tonight - nice one for getting stuck in!
We split in two:
📦 Catherine, Clare, Collette and Stephen headed down into Penge to shift a whole lotta stock from the storage room and into the main shop area at Living Well's charity shop.
🚪 James, Cat, David and I took the long route to Anerley, where St Hugh's Community Centre had a load of leaflets advertising all the important wellbeing and community services they offer to deliver through doors on the estate.
Both teams nailed their tasks and timing and those who headed back to base arrived minutes apart.
Well done everyone 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
