Brighton Report written by STEFANIA ROSSO (she/her)
On Earth day, GoodGym Brighton had a creative group session planned on our calendar: helping the Primary School S. Luke in the big build for the Brighton Festival Children Parade.
Did you hear Our Voice? We are “chucking out stereotypes”
Our Michelle invited us to push our creativity and see the world differently - inspired by Drew Daywalt’s children book: “The Days the Crayons Quit”.
We did a great job mashing paper sheets with glue on what will represent Duncan’s box of crayons. They quit their given roles to stand up for a better world with a wider diversity of colours.
Before running back, we could not resist to play our way and we turned into the kid’s mode to do some fitness exercises. It was such a fun session and we enjoyed a lot ourselves while climbing like spidermen, hanging like monkeys, and jumping like kangaroos in the school’s playground.
Welcome back Amro to play with us all.
WHAT's ON NEXT at GoodGym Brighton?
Plenty to amuse you to join us soon.
EVERYBODY is welcome!

Brighton Report written by Brighton runner
Following a brief but comprehensive deluge hitting the coast, this week's task - a slice of green community action as part of WWF x GoodGym’s Workout for Nature - saw an impressive fifteen GoodGymers descend on Round Hill Conservation Area to paint over graffiti tags gathered on the local Cat's Creep stairway and hoe stubborn weeds on the nearby Wakefield Road.
After GoodGym's visit, Cat's Creep, famous for its wavering apostrophe (depending on whether you think one or more cats are involved), 116 steep steps and resident toads and newts, was lined once again with freshly painted magnolia walls. Meanwhile, finely honed hoeing skills from the recent GoodGym Palmeira Square challenge meant that the flint wall on Wakefield Road was similarly smartened up.
Through its collective endeavours in the Round Hill, the GoodGym Brighton team are hopeful of another appearance in the local Round Hill Reporter (published since 2000) following previous articles in recent editions. The Reporter is the printed newsletter of the Round Hill Society and is evidence of a lively local community with regular events including an annual water fight.
The mission drew to an energised end with the packing up of tools, swiftly darkening skies and GoodGym area activator/ Round Hill resident Stefania handing out ciabatta and luminous doughnuts sourced via the Olio app, which helps prevent good food from going to waste.
With thanks to volunteers from the Round Hill Society, including Dominic and local councillor Raphael.

The garbage they gather is grand, I'm sure.
5 of us ran from Victoria Gardens to Hove Lawns, where we met Sarah, in order to pick-up litter on Brighton Beach on an exceedingly beautiful spring evening.
The clean-up was done as part of the Tidy Up Team initiative which works across the city to clean-up public spaces in order to create a sense of civic pride.
Some technical difficulties with the Tidy Team locker led to Stefania improvising a last-minute task with her backpack full of gloves and bin bags. Given that its the first week of the Easter Holidays we decided to focus our attentions on picking-up litter from the beach. We started in Hove and methodically made our way towards the Palace Pier.
Hove was on-brand as ever and pickings were slim, but as we got nearer the pier we unfortunately started finding much more litter and we ended-up with a full bag of rubbish to ceremoniously deposit in a wheelie-bin.
As the sun set behind the West Pier we eventually managed to take a selfie that Rosie was satisfied with and jogged-off home, leaving the beach a little cleaner!
