It was truly a case of a having a ball - or more like several hundred of them - at GoodGym Westminster last night!

We met at our usual spot in Hyde Park to run to a new task - St Vincent's family project. This organisation provides a community for families, with children under the age of five, to feel supported. Families can use the space to play, relax, have fun, connect with others, and learn new skills. Families using the programmes and support services to become more resilient, less isolated and cope with financial and emotional pressures.

Our job changed last minute, so instead of painting in the bathroom, we were shown by Andy to the arguably much more exciting play area.

Our job for the evening was to give the climbing frame and ball pit a big clean down - including each and every one of the small colourful plastic balls. So we grabbed cloths, moved the army of soft toys out the way, and got cracking.

We found all sorts of interesting things as we worked, including castanets, a mini accordian and a giant gorilla. Before long it was time to get the mats back into their original position, throw the clean balls back in, and call it a job well done.

We'll be back again soon for more fun tasks at St Vincent's. Sign up here for next week's GG Westminster session - hope to see you there!

It was brilliant to see everybody for not one but two tasks last night. We set off with a quick round-up of news: the first ever donation from our GoodGym garden to Wandsworth Age UK – a large bag of home-grown potatoes, gratefully received and reportedly delicious. Great to see some familiar faces back for a visit, our lovely regulars, and a special shout out for Kamil too, who notched up his first parkrun at the weekend.

With that, we limbered up and shared predictions for the evening’s challenge: how many panes of glass we would manage to wash at Omnibus Theatre, a charity that brings the arts to the local community. Numbers ranged from optimistic to ambitious – and one person got very close to the final tally (more on that later).

After a zippy 2km run, we arrived to find buckets and cloths neatly lined up, ready and waiting. The group split into two squads: one to tackle the great glass clean-up, the other to give the GoodGym garden a bit of TLC.

The garden team were soon picking ripe tomatoes, and uncovering tiny treasures – like the brand new peppers that have just appeared. Meanwhile, the window crew got stuck straight in, leaving the panes sparkling in their wake.

By the end, we reunited to compare notes and count up the evening’s total: a grand total of 60 windows were washed, guessed most accurately by Rob!

There was still time for a tough but effective lower-body blast in the square before running back and then heading off to the pub, where we split forces again – this time across quiz tables and finishing 2nd and 6th. Great result!

Is it sunny? Is it raining? Is it stormy? Who knows? But one thing is for sure, that while the weather in Wandsworth was playing up last night, GoodGym had a job to do and wasn't going to let anything get in our way!

First up, we had the pleasure of welcoming Anne Marie and Amelia to their first session. Great to meet you and hope we'll see you again for more Goodgyming.

We did our warm up in 30 C heat, before discussing which band or singer either from history or present day, would we most like to see. Queen, Bowie, Oasis, Whitney, Britney, Cardi B and the Beatles all made the (eclectic) list.

Our task for the evening was at the Gwyneth Morgan day centre. This specialist centre for people over 60, adults with disabilities and adults with dementia is a safe space for leisure, recreation and wellbeing. They promote independence and social inclusion and everybody is treated with dignity and respect.

They needed a hand with their outside space, including planting a whole load of donated plants. The first job however was to dig up the old - and very stubborn - bushes there. The dry ground didn't help matters, and it took a lot of digging, puling and general coaxing to get them out. The area was then planted with roses and hydrangeas which will brighten up the space for the users.

Meanwhile there was plenty of planting going on at a different site, masses of watering, pots to empty and trimming to be done. It proved to be quite the workout, which was maybe why at first we didn't notice the skies darkening. It was just as we crossed over to Wandsworth common to do our fitness session that the rain started coming. We cracked on with a total body workout on super speed, working on three main muscles groups. There was a dash back, before stretches.

I'm just confirming the task for next Monday so watch this space - but guaranteed it'll involve a lot of doing good, plenty of fun and even more getting active!
