10 runners ran 4km to help at Bermondsey Community Kitchen

Today saw 6th installment of GoodGym runs with FGS which means a whole year's worth of good deeding around the local area!

We started off with a little warm up and then had a little jog down to the task where we were greeted by Shannon who manages the facility. She explained a little bit about the work they do at the kitchen and the cafe downstairs which sounds really amazing and they're really helping out so many people in the local community. AWESOME!

Our main task was unfortunately not cooking or food prep but a much needed paint job instead! A few members of GoodGym visited a few weeks ago but only managed to do half of the room so it was our job to finish it off! We weren't going to leave until we got it done!

Everyone grabbed either a brush or a roller, kicked off their shoes and got stuck in!! The wall had lots of patches on it where holes and cracks had been filled in and needed covering up, although a fresh lick of paint all over was the aim!

After just half an hour it was done and all looking super fresh. Now the clean up operation could commence. It's almost impossible not to get paint where it shouldn't be. It ended up on the floors, chairs, counter tops, people's hair and clothes.... but thankfully it was water-based paint and washed off pretty easily. Phew!

Once everything was cleaned up, we set off to do a few exercises in the park all to be captured by the videographer, he even had to do a bit of running himself! Whatever it takes to get THE shot, right???

After a few minutes and a couple of interviews everyone headed back and we called it a day!

Great work everyone! Shannon and Felix were SO pleased and impressed with your efficient painting and were absolutely delighted with everything you got done so huge thank you on their behalf!
