Last night we were back for our second regular visit to the Abbey Centre near Victoria. It was great to be back and see all the busy sessions happening at the centre, from art therapy to AA, community champions to community choir, hot meals for rough sleepers, language classes, support groups and more...the place is a true lifeline for local people.

Our job for the evening was in the beautiful courtyard garden at the back of the building, so after being led through the huge building we grabbed tools and got to work.

The task was to sweep and clear the space, and we wasted no time clearing the leaves from the beautiful climbing tree. The place was obviously home to quite a few pigeons judging by the number of feathers we also picked up!

It didn't take long to get the job done, but it was easy to see the difference.

We'll be back next month for another session at this amazing place!

Next week we're back at St Andrew's youth centre, sign up here
