Ten Westminster GoodGymers ran 7k to Small Works social enterprise to paint, clean and generally make the community building a nicer place to be.

On a lovely early spring evening we set off on mass on the imposing 3.5k run through the busy streets of central London to Victoria to help Small Works brighten up there community building. After a mobilising and activating dynamic warm up we were on our way weaving through the shoppers and commuters passing Palaces and streams until we reached out destination of Small Works social enterprise.

We met Juliet who talked us through the evenings tasks and split into 4 groups ready for action! We decorated the outside arch with a super creative and striking mural. removed and cleaned a huge white board, cleaned and repainted (in the nick of time) a floor to ceiling black board. Dominated the cleaning of windows both high and low and even managed to squeeze in the re painting of a wall stained with an epic tea spillage.

With such frantic action it was lucky that Juliet had provided a wonderful spread of chocolate biscuits and juice. Think this alone will ensure Small Works becomes a GG Westminster favourite!!

In 35 action packed minutes with a little black board painting sprint finish we had completed all our task and left a very happy Juliet with an brighter, cleaner and a little more sticking building for the local community.

We headed back to base throwing in some loop to the back speed play action along the inclines of Bond Streets. With a final sprint finish we were home!! After a little static stretch out and frantic search for the room key were skipped into the night happy with a great job done.

Thank you for looking after me and hope to see you all again very soon.

Run Smooth
