Braving the chilly weather, the team enthusiastically streamlined the post-distribution cleanup at the Fridge today. We efficiently recycled, cleared crates, and scrubbed containers spotless. As extra helpers the GoodGym volunteers were brilliant especially as they know the drill and what needs doing. Well done team!

What a perfect morning to celebrate a milestone! We marked one year since launching GoodGym Merton by supporting our friends at Morden Parkrun.

The beautiful, crisp morning was ideal for getting out and doing good. Our team embraced various roles, from marshalling the course and handing out finish tokens to expertly managing the funnel. We had an absolute blast cheering on every single walker and runner including several members of the GoodGym team who took on the course themselves!

It was a brilliant, energetic way to celebrate a year of incredible community achievements. Cheers to many more years of getting fit and doing good in Merton!

Well done team and congratulations to Alex and Siobhan on their first Parkrun experience and welcome Siobhan (officially) to the team.

Two GoodGymers spent the morning volunteering at Modern Parkrun by guiding and cheering runners, and ensuring everything ran smoothly and safely. Their enthusiasm brought extra energy to the event, supported participants of all ages, and strengthened the link between GoodGym and the local community while enjoying a great start to the weekend.

A callout for volunteers at Merton's Community Fridge was answered by our dedicated GoodGym members. They tackled the post-distribution clean-up dealing first with the numerous boxes. A sudden downpour added a new challenge with some strategic "rain-dodging" to get everything into the bins. But a little rain can't dampen our spirit - we got it done!

Three regulars helped out at Merton's Community Fridge tonight, working tirelessly, giving crates and boxes a much-needed scrub, and sorting through a mountain of rubbish. It was a fantastic effort, and thanks to their hard work, the Fridge and recycling bin is sorted and ready for the next session 🤞.
