Goodgymmers on the Loo-se

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice

The Goodgym Islington crew returned to the lovely Caxton House Community Centre last night, to help with assist with further renovations of this busy hub of activity. 7 Goodgymmers from Islington, Barnet and Camden met with Area Activator Simon and task owner Rose for this ongoing indoors project.

Over 30 charities, groups and workshops operate within Caxton House, alongside activities like archery, cooking lessons, repair shops and sewing studios.

Check out the Caxton House website here: https://caxtonhouse.org/

Our task for the evening involved refurbishing the upstairs bathrooms, ready for a re-fit later this year. Since our Goodgym team were available on Monday evening, we were free to make as much noise as we liked while breaking away old tiles, and giving all of the walls and radiators a fresh lick of paint. We divided our crew into two groups to work on the ladies and the gents restrooms.

As a thank you for our quick efficient work, we were offered hobnobs and donated bakery goods as a treat. Along with a tour of the beautiful sewing room set up for workshops during the week (and weekends soon!). Goodgym Islington had helped with painting the walls of the craft room too, so it was lovely to see that our hard work had really paid off!

Congratulations everyone. We will be running from the Arsenal Community Hub to Rose Bowl Youth Club next Monday. We hope to see you then.
