Who this task will support
Dalston Lane Community-Led Greening
This initiative, led by local social enterprise Dream Green, aims to bring the local community together to improve the street's environment – for both residents and local wildlife – by transforming a 15 metre long strip of bare, lifeless soil into a bright pocket of plant life.

Carry sacks of topsoil 17 minutes up the road, from the donator, to the planned community garden site.

Local nature-loving workspace, Second Home, have kindly donated a huge bag of topsoil to the Dalston Lane community garden project. Their building is a 17 minute walk from the garden site, so we're looking for GoodGym members to help transport it in rubble sacks and large rubber buckets (provided) to its new home!

Depending on the number of volunteers, the sacks and buckets could be carried in pairs (in which case it may be possible to run with them!) or by individuals.
