Yesterday GoodGym Bexley and GoodGym Greenwich helped out at Mama2Mama's Baby Bank where the task was to empty a storage unit ready for their big move to a new premisis. It was absolutely packed to the brim and showed some top level organising from the tiny team who run the bank!

We had to keep calm and crate on and formed assembly lines to organise what needed to be kept aside for the delivery drivers and what could stay put for now. And what an amazing array of lovely items, ranging from clothes, cots, beds and stock for the new cafe in Woolwich which we're looking forward to visiting in the summer! An hour and a half later we'd got most of the stock sorted and back in again.

Great job team- we certainly showed we can think inside the box.

That's a wrap.

There was soooo much woodchip. Westcombe Woodlands work us hard and certainly help us put the gym in Good Gym and this month was no exception.

7 Good Gymers arrived at the woods to be met by not just one but two gigantic piles of woodchip. Being the efficient team that we are we split into two groups with Bea, Cecilia and Marta shovelling the chips into containers for Ivar, Julian, Kerry and Mayuri to carry up the hill to replenish the paths.

After an hour or so the volunteers were amazed that we’d managed to completely clear one of the giant piles and to replenish a huge length of pathway. All the was remained was to enjoy a well-earned cup of tea.

Presenting this year's Easter Parade - Good-gym style!

12 GoodGym-ers met on a changeable Easter Saturday morning, some travelling from Park run to Bark run, for our Community Mission today at the lovely Maryon Park Community Garden.

We were met by Tim & Edna, as well as a veritable mountain of freshly delivered woodchip, which our task today was built around. The woodchip had to be moved uphill from the entrance to the Forest School area beyond the food growing plots.

Cue lots of teamwork and with shovels at the ready we were soon loading up wheelbarrows and relaying them up the hill to where more of the team were waiting with rakes to smooth over the woodchip in the Forest School.

After half an hour we'd already made a huge dent in the pile, getting it down to a definite hill, at which point resident beetle Ringo decided to make his objections known. Regrettably, Ringo did have to be re-housed, but is hopefully settling nicely in his new woodland home.

Soon the hill became a few scraps & it was time to sweep up the last few flakes, down tools and partake in a much appreciated cuppa ☕️

A very warm welcome to Mayuri on your first task.

Thanks all & see you soon 😊
