Community Cape
Esther Cooke earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Esther completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Esther was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

Islington Report written by Frances Powrie
On a sunny Sunday, a number of us joined our regular community mission at Crouch End Open Space (CREOS).
Our task this week was to plant wild flowers in the meadow. We dug holes, mixed a little sand in with the soil and then planted the flowers.
We had a little help with this task from our new dog friend Pippin, who lent himself enthusiastically to digging the holes in the ground.
All in all, a productive couple of hours.

Caledonian Park Team:
Eleven of us headed over to Caledonian Park where we met Miriam, Head of the Friends of Caledonian Park. The group with help from volunteers like us are improving lots of areas of the park.
Our task this evening was to get rid of two huge areas of laurel plants which are redundant plants but also poisonous - with there leaves capable of releasing cyanide.
The area will be used to make an aputheatre which will be just lovely. Using forks, saws, a pick axe and various other tools two groups of five worked hard over 40 mins to get loads done - awesome!
We then ran home to eat Scandi biscuits and stretch.
Scandalous biscuits!
Tip-top woodchip shifting by GA:
Meanwhile, 10 entrepid runners joined team woodchip ran over to Islington’s Single Homelessness Project, where we shovelled a giant pile woodchip from the road outside onto the front and back garden of one of their houses.
With the humidity proving no match for 10 dedicated GoodGym runners efforts, we made short work of the woodchip pile, whilst tidying up the gardens at the same time. This made - and I quote from our - “a massive difference”. The garden is now ready for new plants to go in, in the Autumn. Top work!
Taking a different route back, we looped along the streets back to the emirates for everyone’s favourite summertime activity: Emirates hill sprints! Dividing into two groups, great to see lots of enthusiasm for squatting, springing, and star-jumping. The holy trinity of summer exercise.
Woodchip shifted; workout smashed. Well done team.
Sign up for next week here when we'll be helping Mildmay Community Centre and Ramsey Flowers Group.
