This week's group run was all about Julian and his 499 good deeds!! Whilst we're a little sad that the big 5-0-0 won't be happening in the blue borough, we're super proud of Julian being part of our team and how much good he does between here and Greenwich. He'll get stuck into every task we do and rain or shine - thank you Julian. I look forward to seeing you achieve your next milestone which is hopefully 500 this evening at Greenwich!!
This week we also had 2 newbies joined us who must have wondered what on earth I was doing when I had party hats and a tray of doughnuts. I can't promise the same every week but I can promise good deeds every week.
It was off to The Albany this week and time to tackle the litter. After ringing the ring doorbell a couple of time and no answer I thought maybe we were in for one of those weeks with no task. We did get in eventually and set to cutting back brambles and picking up the litter.
Again, there was a distinct lack of litter and my theory is that the longer grass means it's not being blown under the fence so much but also it could all be hidden within the grass and we just can't see it!
Half the group headed out to clear the surrounding streets of litter and by the end of the session we had quite a few bags of litter including a wig!
Next week, we are heading to Senior's to help in their garden with the bigger tasks such as turning the compost, digging the beds and weeding.

Our group run this week was flyering for Coco Collective which is a community garden in Bellingham, they also have a site in Catford. We were promoting their volunteer sessions and also their wellbeing sessions which started in April.
Welcome to Mo - your first group run was a long run so hopefully you join us next week for a short one to St Mary's Church!
When we arrived at the community garden, the first task was locating the flyers which was super easy after the last time when we had to find them in the pitch black garden having never been there before!!
We then ran to meet Marta at the designated flyering start point, only about 8 minutes later than I'd said...
We split into 2 groups: one coming with me and one with Steve. Armed with highlighted maps of the area, we went our opposite ways with the aim to meet back at the start point at 8pm.
100's of flyers delivered, all fingers in tact and hopefully we have spread the word about this wonderful community project!
I will admit it was further than I expected but everyone made it - well done!!

A small but mighty group of GoodGymers gathered to tackle the remaining woodchip at the Tiny Forest. Part of the group even gathered at a new start point and then met Linda at the Tiny Forest with all the tools.
The main task for the evening was to make the area around the benches look more inviting. We pulled up the weeds that we could and cut back the grass and any other weeds then covered them in a big layer of mulch to hopefully stop the weeds coming back through.
Hopefully the space will be more inviting for people walking through Ladywell Fields so they can sit and admire the growing saplings!
On Monday, we're heading to Catford to continue flyering for Coco Collective Community Garden.
