Ending our first visit to Penge Congregational Church, Jonny showed us a storage area that was full of rubbish needing clearing. This week’s session was our first go at disposing of the various artefacts there so it could be brought back into use. With Jonny picking out the rubbish, the GoodGym crew carried it through to a disused hall where it can be later carried out to a skip for disposal. The team tussled with some big items including pool tables, stage props and filing cabinets! We’ll be back to the church again to finish off the job, but we’ve already made a huge difference in opening up some floor space!

Such a lush evening for a goodgym session! The rain cleared nicely and had made the weeds come out super easily for our run to Cator Park. They've got 'Pride Picnic in the Park' at the weekend so we focussed on one little entrance to the arena area, tidying up the beds and chopping back the bushes. We had a pretty massive pile of greenery built up by the end. Top stuff, gang 👍 And cheers Millie for having us!

A classic gazebo putter-upper session with a bit of table erecting for good measure. Shame about the rain.

A small but mighty team from GoodGym Crystal Palace headed over to Alexandra Rec tonight to help out Millie from the Friends of Cator Park and Alexandra Rec.

Our mission? To help prepare the railings around the playground for a fresh coat of paint by removing the old, flaky layers that had seen better days. Armed with wire brushes, safety goggles and plenty of elbow grease, we made decent progress and got a good arm workout in the process. Check out Mark's cool video of the task here!

Thanks to everyone who came out!
