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! 🏃‍♂️🌱

Loughborough Farm
A patchwork of community growing spaces

The Loughborough Farm is a community food growing project in Loughborough Junction. The Farm is well attended and goes from strength to strength since its launch in August 2013, which GoodGym Lambeth contributed to. They are now in the process of building a network of growing spaces around Loughborough Junction on pieces of land that are currently derelict or underused. Food grown is for local consumption and volunteers get training that can suppport them in finding employment.
