It was a full house for tonight's group session as 14 GoodGymers descended upon Little ARK to help. With a varied list of tasks including shifting furniture and folding reels of fabric, the main challenge was navigating the bags and boxes across three rooms and a hallway!

We tackled the space like true professionals, working mostly in smaller groups to ensure everything was moved safely and the fabric was folded to perfection. It was a masterclass in logistics and teamwork.

A huge welcome to our two newest members, Ahsan and Lisa - we hope to see you again soon. We were also joined by Rob, a seasoned GoodGym veteran - welcome back.

The little ARK space had been transformed. Well done, team!

We can't keep away from the Community Fridge, or at least not while there are lots of jobs to do! The evening's remit, after running to the task, was to sort food according to date and pack it into labelled boxes. Meanwhile, the rest of the team set about cleaning and tidying the church kitchen. We totally nailed both jobs, before making our way to the pub for a well-earned social. As well as relaxing over a beer we surprised Jade by presenting her with her trophy for Goodgym's Sean Coxhead Inspiring Individual Award. Congratulations to Jade and a big welcome to first-timers Carmen and John, as well as Goodgym tourist Louise from Islington. On a sadder note, we said goodbye to Rob but hopefully he will visit us when he's down in London.

A year on from our first session in this garden, it was lovely to see how well it's coming along, with the first daffodils shyly emerging and the impressive new bay tree resplendent in its pot. For this session we were planting fruit trees, moving blackcurrant and raspberry bushes, cutting back lemon balm and doing some weeding, all under the knowledgeable supervision of Inger. The sun came out and it didn't really feel like January. We'll be back next month!

We had a fantastic turnout to help clean and organise the storage area at Merton's Community Fridge for tonight's group session. After a briefing, we emptied the entire room and then split up into 3 teams; 2 groups on labelling and sorting all the food and other items and then the other team tackled the deep cleaning. Everyone got stuck in and a lot was achieved - well done team!

A big welcome to Jo and congratulations on your first GoodGym task, we hope to see you again soon.
