Six of us went over to Reach South Sheffield which is a great community organisation that helps disadvantaged people within the local area. They've recently been the victim of a couple of break-ins, where their poly-tunnels were vandalised and some plants dug up. Our task was to paint the top of their perimeter fence with anti-climb paint.

Roisha gave us the paint, brushes, gloves and ladders that ensured the job wasn't too out of REACH. While five of us got on with this job, Tom set about the important task of putting up signs advertising the paint. Hopefully this will help deter the miscreants!

The folks at Reach were very friendly and even offered us a cuppa. In the two hours we were there we managed to get round the whole boundary of the grounds which was very satisfying!

We look forward to coming back here in the future, perhaps to help repair their poly-tunnels. In the meantime hopefully the paint will put off anyone trying to disrupt the great work that these guys do.
