This was a special charity day GoodGym set up for the team at Radius Insights.

First I meant the team at there office and took them on a 3km walk to the Galleywell Nature Reserve, an amazing oasis of natural habitat in Central London. The reserve allows nature to thrive, and is a vital resource for the local community and adjacent school who can visit to learn about the environment.

After a quick intro from the head of the nature reserve Paul, we got straight to work. We started off by having the guy move a big roof that's soon to be discarded. The girls were all given small garden spades and sphaerocephalon allium bulbs. They were required to dig holes that were either 4 or 6 inches deep, depending on the size of the bulbs. The bulbs were then planted and covered up so that they'll be able to grow fully by this time next year.

Whilst digging, one of the girls managed to unearth a dead bird filled with maggots. This was a huge shock but it was also something everyone found funny later on. That will be a interesting story to tell later. Whilst the girls were planting, the guys were shoveling manure into wheel barrels and spreading them around so that the nature reserve would have more places for plants to grow.

Thank you to the Radius Insights team, the work done will have a real impact on local residents. Galleywell is a vital green spaces in the borough with a invertebrate habitat wall, made out of recycled materials and gradually being built by volunteers. The site is currently well used by the adjacent school, and raised beds, native climbers and a bee hive are proposed to encourage more public interest in the garden.

Everyone did amazing today and I hope you all enjoyed your first GoodGym Session.

This Monday, GoodGym Bromley went door-to-door flyering for the brilliant Library of Things (LoT).

LoT is an organisation helping ease the cost of living crisis by providing rental access to tools and appliances like drills and sewing machines that would typically cost hundreds.

You can find their lockers at the Greener & Cleaner Hub in The Glades and 20+ other locations across London.

Special mention to Marian for keeping pace through Church House Gardens, Laura for leading out the walking group and good luck Denzel ahead of the Vitality 10K.

Everyone who joined on Monday night will also get an exclusive discount to use LoT (I'll email you directly).

Next week we're hitting the streets again flyering for Bromley Borough Foodbank. Hope to see you there.
