Mission accomplished at Loughborough Farm!

Tonight’s fantastic six-strong crew descended upon Heather’s domain at Loughborough Farm like a well-oiled (and slightly soggy) machine. Armed with determination, our heroes tackled the great ballast adventure of 2025!

The MOT Spreading Squad 🚛

Our fearless volunteers channeled their inner road builders, spreading MOT ballast by the plant room with the precision of seasoned professionals. Who knew that “getting your steps in” could involve so much actual construction work? The ballast didn’t stand a chance against our collective enthusiasm and surprising upper body strength!

Timber Titans & Concrete Champions 🪵🏗️

Not content with just one heroic feat, the team also:

• Relocated ancient timber with the grace of furniture movers (but with more dirt under their fingernails)
• Conquered the concrete mountain - because nothing says “cardio” like hauling chunks of old concrete to their final resting place

Welcome Back Celebrations! 🎉

The evening was made even more special with some brilliant returnees:

• Jordan graced us with their presence after what felt like forever away - we missed those legendary lifting skills!
• Jo made a triumphant comeback after becoming a superhero parent to a beautiful baby boy! From Task Force hero to actual life-creating hero - now that’s an upgrade!

Tonight’s Dream Team 🌟

A massive shout-out to our incredible volunteers: Michael, Ben, Tilly, Jordan, Jo, and Adam - you absolute legends! Six people, countless wheelbarrows, and one very satisfied Heather at Loughborough Farm.

Remember: We don’t just run for fitness, we run for purpose! Next week, who knows what adventures await… but we guarantee it’ll involve getting pleasantly grubby while making a real difference in our community.

Keep being amazing, GoodGym Lambeth! 🏃‍♂️🌱

Our fantastic volunteers laced up their running shoes and headed to Thorlands Gardens to lend Simon a helping hand with the chamomile garden project. The team really got their hands dirty continuing the excellent work from our previous visit - tackling those persistent weeds that just won’t leaf us alone!

A very warm welcome to Hanna for her first session as well - great to have you with us!

The group worked tirelessly clearing the stubborn weeds and transporting wood chip around the garden. It was certainly no walk in the park, but our volunteers really rose to the occasion and showed they’re not afraid to get down and dirty for a good cause.

Simon was absolutely thrilled with the progress made - you could say the team really grew on him! The chamomile garden is looking mint to be, and with all that fresh wood chip spread around, the area is really starting to bloom into something special.

Another fantastic effort from the GoodGym Lambeth crew proving that when it comes to community gardening, they’re simply the best bunch we could ask for - they always help our community projects flourish!

Well done to all who participated in making Thorlands Gardens an even more beautiful space for everyone to enjoy.
