On Saturday, October 14, 2023, a group of GoodGym volunteers gathered at the Kennington park road tra to help with a variety of tasks. The Goodgymers were Maria, Paulin, Sam, and Mikhail. The volunteers were greeted by Georgina and Sandy, who hosted the mission. Other members of the tra were also present, Hilda, Ayo, Shalom, Nicola, Chevon and little Eden. Georgina gave a brief overview of the tasks that needed to be completed, and then the volunteers split up into groups and got to work. One group of volunteers worked on clearing the outdoor shed. Mikhail and little Eden worked together to empty the shed, while Nicola helped to organize the items that were being removed. Once the shed was empty, Mikhail and Nicola fixed a bench that was in need of repair. He then worked with Nicola to put a plaque on the bench. Another group of volunteers worked on the garden. Maria picked up leaves and litter, and trimmed bushes. Paulin fed the compost and extended the beds. She also moved woodchip around the garden. Sam worked on transporting leaves from the garden to the compost bin. He made six or seven trips back and forth, and he also helped Maria with her trimming tasks. Hilda swept the paths around the garden, and Ayo helped to remove growth from the flower beds. Shalom helped to look after little Eden while the other volunteers worked. At the end of the mission, the volunteers gathered together for a cup of tea and a chat. They were all very pleased with the work that they had accomplished, and they were grateful to Georgina and Sandy for hosting the mission.
