Last summer we headed to INS to prep and paint their garden furniture and today we did the same again after the last sat was sadly stolen from the garden.

With six chairs and a large table to do, it was great to have many active hands to scrub, wipe and paint them black, looking as good as new when we were done!

A huge welcome to Mersa for the first time, ans a thank you to task owner Sarah who always welcomes us warmly and was keen to celebrate Volunteer's Week with us.

A beautiful warm morning welcomed 4 GGers from Richmond for a task of sprucing up the Greenwood Community Centre off Hampton Hill high street.

We were shown the tools and task focus by task owner Graham and we got to work. New joiner Esther and JP focused on weeding the front area including car park, while Suze and Manuela did an astonishingly quick job of weeding the side passageway.

We started sweeping up and found to our surprise that we were able to fill 2 black bin liners, grabbing the last few straggling weeds as we went.

A great job done and a big warm welcome to Esther - we hope to see you again soon!
