Catford Fridge, Lewisham

Community tasks are back at The Wildcat Wilderness! A HUGE amount of rubbish has been uncovered on the site over the last few months as regular volunteers to the site have been clearing and uncovering to make way for new spaces, such as the outdoor classroom. The rubbish pile has been steadily increasing over the lockdown, waiting for Good Gym Lewisham to step in and sort it as soon as restrictions were lifted. A team of 6 arrived to site on a cold Saturday morning, but we soon warmed up as we got stuck in to lifting the rubbish into wheelbarrows and navigating the long path from the Wilderness back to the street and into the skip. We even managed to fit in an old fridge freezer that some kind person had 'gifted' to the site many years ago. The task was completed so quickly that we even had time to do some good old fashioned weed bashing of the pathway making access to the site as acessible as possible in preparation for schools and members of the public to be welcomed back. It was so lovely to be back in this special place.
