Here's what Mrs M of SE12 had to say about the mission:

It was really good, thank you so much. They did a great job with us.

Mrs M of SE12, mission beneficiary

We arrived a little before 10am Ms M and her daughter arrived armed with a variety of gardening tools to tackle the overgrown front garden. Introductions complete we got stuck in to the task, Ms. M' s daughter said how overwhelmed she felt just looking at how much work the garden needed. She stayed with us in the garden to help, she explained how many things her mum had in the garden cherry trees blackberries, and grapes. Yes grapes they had to be cut back as the vines were taking over the garden. After nearly two hours of cutting we had cleared the path making it easier for Ms. M to get access to her front door. A very satisfying mission!
