It was a rescue mission to water the plants after the brutal heat and sun over last few days, and weed out the dead. Luckily, a number of volunteers including regulars as well as our leader, Energy Garden's Anna, were on hand to put in the work over two hours.

A small but motivated team of GoodGymers met at the Phoenix Cinema before heading out across East Finchley to support North London Hospice and help promote their upcoming Race The Neighbours community 10 km event.

Despite the intense 30-degree heat, everyone brought great energy and enthusiasm to the session. Armed with stacks of flyers and plenty of determination, we covered a large number of local streets, delivering leaflets to homes and helping spread awareness about the charity run and the important work the hospice does for local families. The warm evening certainly made the task more challenging, but the team kept a strong pace and positive spirit throughout.

During the leaflet drop, we also came across a lost house key that had been left in the keyhole outside. After ringing the bell, we were able to return the key safely to the homeowner, who was very grateful and relieved to have it back.

We gathered afterwards for a well-earned social with refreshments, good conversation, and of course a celebratory cookie to finish the evening on a high.

The session combined fitness, teamwork, and community spirit, while supporting a brilliant local cause and helping encourage more people to take part in the fundraising race next month.
