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.
Groups of local schools have been exploring the theme 'New Dawn' as a way to think about our future. What do we want to change, what do we want to cherish, and what do we want to chuck.
Do Listen Our Voice: We Want to âchuck out stereotypesâ!
Our Michelle invited us to push our creativity and see the world differently - inspired by Drew Daywaltâs children book: âThe Days the Crayons Quitâ.
We did a great job mashing paper sheets with glue on what will represent a box of crayons. They are Duncanâs crayons who 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 kids 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 schoolâs playground.
Welcome back Amro to play with us all. Well done all, you all got a âwell done stickerâ!
WHAT's ON NEXT at GoodGym Brighton?
Plenty to amuse you to join us soon.
EVERYBODY is welcome!

Sonam completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Sonam was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

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 GoodGymâs 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.

Impressive was the stamina of yesterdayâs Brighton GoodGym-ers who did not even hesitate to get out in a cold Autumnal evening for a short run to Palmeira Square to help the Palmeira and Adelaide Garden Group. New heroic GoodGym-er Sonam joined us for the first time, in shorts đ
As usual, our lovely Stuart, who is the patron of all the good conservation happening in Palmeira Squareâs green spaces, welcomed us ready for action with rakes, brooms and leaves grabbers to remove all the Autumnal leaves from the footpaths around the Floral Clock.
On continuing move and with grand co-ordination of group effort, we managed to clear all the pavements without (almost) freezing our hands and feet. Soon after the GoodGym-ers were joined by Brighton & Hove council's forces contributing to the clearance of the streets and to our greatest satisfaction!
The Floral Clock is now ready for the Christmas lights switch-ons happening this coming weekend!
See WHAT's ON NEXT at GoodGym Brighton!
