Lambeth Report written by Mark Gilyead (he/him)
GG Lambeth had all guns blazing last night, smashing out a solid few k and blitzing a couple of tasks for Brixton Road Youth Centre.
Totally fresh to GoodGym we had Lucy, Raina, Anna and Nadia - WELCOME!
After a quick headcount we split into 2 groups - Nicky leading the long route and the rest of us heading direct.
When we arrived, Sharon gave us the low down and showed us where the gear was kept.
We had two tasks:
🍂 Collecting leaves into bags
🛋 Shifting chairs from one lock-up to another
But the brains of GoodGym Lambeth decided on some extra bonus tasks to make the place look even better:
🥦Scraping up moss
🌱Pulling up weeds
And in fact everyone did such a good job that Sharon had to go and buy even more bags.
When all was bagged up, we took a quick snap and headed back for some truly scrumptious bakes from Katie and her killer brownies, Tim and his beautiful cinnamon swirls, Tom with a bakewell tart & some seriously excellent pastry and Freyja with some deeeeelicious cookies.
Nice one Lambeth! 🤙
I'm away for a few weeks but Nicky will be leading next week, with a run to help out at the lovely Agnes Riley Gardens - Sign up here!!

What a wild night of painting the town GoodGym red!
This week's task involved putting up posters for Age UK's Food2You initiative. They recruit volunteer drivers to pick up an older person's weekly shop, and then take it round to them, staying for a chat while they're at it. Such a cool idea!
We started off welcoming new GG-ers Sean, Anna, Holly, Eduardo and Verity to the crew! And we then had an impromptu visit from Lambeth councillor for volunteering and previous Lambeth mayor(!) Donatus who came to say thanks for what we've done across the borough!
Then we split into 5 teams with taskforce taking the lead. Samantha took a team to West Norwood via Herne Hill. Nicky lead a group to Oval and Stockwell. George's team headed to Clapham. Team Victoria ran to Streatham and my team went through Brixton to Loughborough Junction.
We covered so much ground between us and were pleasantly surprised by how happy most places were to let us put up the posters!
On our return, we were treated to some deliciously moist beer cake (that'll be the Guinness) from Frances and some fabulously flavoursome cinnamon buns from Rebecca. 😋
Join us next week as we head to Brixton Road Youth Centre for some classic leaf clearing and helping to sort through their lock-ups! Sign up here!
