GoodGym Richmond’s weekly Saturday morning task was to help delivery leaflets for the Richmond CVS group - an organisation that helps support local charities, volunteers and community groups in the Richmond borough area. They are looking to help some of the local charities find new trustees and supporters, and have an event planned for later in the month for this. Our job this morning was to spread the word!

JP and Beth came armed with leaflets - huge piles of about 500 pamphlets to be dropped through the doors, and we split them up between the five of us and head up towards Kew Road to do our best post-man impressions. Chris was in fact so convincing, the Royal Mail man nearly offered him his job!

We split into two groups - Rob and JP working together, and Lucy, Chris and Beth in a team, and snaked our way around the side streets. Topics of conversation today included what our ideal letter box would be like, West Ham being top of the league and a debate about fake crocodiles in ponds (inspired by one of the local residents)! We managed in very efficient style to keep meeting bang on Kew at the end of the roads we were covering, and in an hour and a half, all of the leaflets had been delivered to local flats and houses. Fantastic work for an hour and a half - and over 7000 steps completed in that time!

It was great to welcome Rob back after a GoodGym hiatus, and shout out to Beth who was on a streak and finished this task to head to another! Hope to see you all on Monday for a litter pick with a difference, thanks to the Athletic Brewing Company!
