Clearing brambles, cleaning railings and coffee treats at The Exchange

The Exchange is a community-led arts and crafts organisation that uses the heritage of its home, Erith’s Grade II listed Old Library, to inspire new programmes and activities that bring people together and demonstrate the power of community craft and action.

🎯The task

The Exchange team have asked us to help clear an area of brambles so they can extend their stunning designer garden. So we'll get busy and give those prickly invaders their marching orders! 🌿💪

We’ll also be giving the railings around the building a good clean, helping to give the whole place a smart and sparkling finish.

We’ll work for around 75 minutes, then there’s a rather lovely reward waiting for us… we’ll be treated to hot drinks from their coffee bar, and we hear the coffee is pretty good☕! Plus, if the rumours about the cakes and pastries are true, you might want to bring some payment along for a little something extra 🍰 🥐.

Please bring thick gardening gloves 🧤 and consider wearing long sleeves to protect against the brambles. All other equipment will be provided.

Brambles out, railings shiny, coffee on — sounds like a great GoodGym task to us. Hope you see you there!
