Here's what Ms K of SE5 had to say about the mission:

'Just a quick email to say a huge thank you to you and the volunteers for the help on my allotment work... I am TRULY grateful! Thank you!' - An email we received from Kate after this weekend's mission, well done all!

Ms K of SE5, mission beneficiary

After a little trouble in finding the meeting point the four of us got stuck in sorting out Mrs K's awesome little allotment.

It was quite the jungle to start with but many hands make light work and after an hour or so of trimming, digging and hoeing we'd made a big impact! Luckily for us it was a fairly indiscriminate clearing exercise so we needed minimal knowledge of botany!

Now Mrs K can plant new vegetables and continue her recovery!
