Cecil Sharp House Report:

15 of us headed to the home of English Folk Song and Dance for our monthly task to help with the permaculture garden.

Susannah explained the huge impact we have made the charity, which we've been he long for nearly 3 years! We split into the following teams:

  • Steve led a sweeping team along the front drive, collecting up all the moss, debris and weeds.
  • Rachael did a brilliant job of watering the front garden!
  • Everyone else was out back clearing the cracks, weeding and sweeping

Over 30 minutes we had made a huge impact in our community. After a group picture we headed to Primrose Hill for a fitness session in pairs - fun!

Double Trouble

SPCA Leafleting from Abi:

7 goodgymmers distributed leaflets for the st pancras community association, detailing their community events for the coming months. We flyered pretty much every street and block of flats within a half-kilometer radius of the community centre, involving many many flights of stairs. We then headed to the pub to celebrate CJs 50th good deed.

Sign up next week here, we're are off to Antrim Allotments!
