Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
I have been scrolling back through the GoodGym guidance.
Become an expert at speed scanning. Through PowerPoints and PDFs, even the odd hard copy document too. My eyes are hurting and my heart is racing. I've had 17 coffees but I think - finally - I must now give up.
I sullenly have to confirm this news.
GoodGym doesn't have any guidance on Borough Theme Tunes...
...but that doesn't mean we can't create some!!
Our wonderful core Camden group of Jackie, John, and Steve had a significant task ahead of us when we arrived at the American International Church last night. We were back to help out at the AIC to set up their winter shelter, which they run from November to March every year.
Between the 4 of us, we had to: a. sweep the large hall ready for the shelter; b. bring in, assemble, and dress 13 beds in the large hall; and c. do the same for 2 beds in the smaller side room.
We'd been moving and working for perhaps 75 seconds before Steve opened Spotify... searched for the music that seems to have accompanied our volunteering for a little while now... and hit play on Dire Straits!
We chatted and worked for 40 minutes, before packing away and looking ahead to next week and our final time at the AIC this season.
Thanks, all, for your work and for a wonderful evening :)

If Dire Straits are our theme tune, I'm defecting to GreenGym

The refurbished area is becoming a hub for food growing, gardening and wildlife activities
