Kevin and I ran to the Adventure Playground via the Olympic Park.

Tim had walked from Stratford via the River Lea

Hilary was leading the running from the Print House.

Ange met us at the gate,she had a very busy day with over 100 children having spent time enjoying all the playground has to offer.The have a trip on a canal barge coming up which sounds like great fun.

Tonights task was to restack a pile of wood as it had been left with nails sticking out and quite precarious.

Some of the small pieces will be uses for the fire pit and pizza oven.

Wood restacked we went to have a look at the tadpoles in the newly built pond. The pond is part of a project to have a pathway of small ponds along the Lea Valley to increase amphibians.

We said our goodbyes and headed home.

Next week we are heading to see Sybil at Emmanuel Church

Another Tuesday, another wonderful evening of doing good and getting fit! This week, we returned to the Care4Calais' East London storage facility, continuing our mission to transform a mountain of generous donations into neatly sorted boxes of clothing, ready to reach those who need them most.

Thanks to our collective efforts over the past few sessions, we’ve made some serious headway—what once resembled a fabric avalanche is now an increasingly organised space. This week saw more great sartorial discoveries, with some standout pieces that would make even the most seasoned thrifters jealous!

Of course, no GoodGym session would be complete without our Random Weekly Question. Courtesy of Graham, we asked: What’s your favourite game? The responses were as varied as ever, ranging from the classic (tennis, football) to the less conventional (Sushi Go, Ticket to Tobago, Frogger and the intense long-term activity of trying to complete the parkrun app).

A huge well done to everyone who came along and put in the hard work. See you next time for more running and doing good - I think we've got a task lined up at Chandos Rd, details to emerge in due course...

A return trip to Chandos Road which had a lot less leaves than our last visit.

This time was a litter picking session.

Hilary led the team in their run from the Print House while Kevin and I took a walking option as we had the litter pickers and bags supplied by Newham council. We split up and headed to three areas of the play park to ensure the children have a clean litter free area to play.

Last night, the GoodGym Newham team gathered to support Care4Calais in sorting clothing donations for people seeking asylum across East London. It was a great session filled with teamwork and care, and we made a real dent in the pile of bags that we were tasked with sorting out.

A special mention to Gina, who joined us for her first-ever GoodGym session! It was fantastic to have you on board, we hope you enjoyed it too - and you'll be able to make use of future sessions to help with your training for Hackney Half!

Also big thanks to Adam for getting us in...

Well done everyone! We should be back there in the next few weeks, but in the meantime we've got some litter picking lined up for next week with the Friends of Chandos Road Gardens - sign up here.
