This dedicated bunch weren't phased by the prospect of 2500 flyers...maybe we were still when we were down to 4 (hope your knee is feeling better Adam).
The first task of the evening was to find the community garden - ✅
The second task of the evening was to get in the community garden - ✅
The third task of the evening was to find the flyers hidden within the community garden - ✅ after me and Julian reading the instructions a couple of times and a paving slab falling on Julian's foot!
By then it was finally time to start flyering. We split into 2 groups and gave ourselves 25min to get as much flyering done as possible within a specific area on our maps (thanks for highlighting Oli). We then regrouped at the community garden to check how many leaflets we had left.
Restocked (or returning our optimistic pile of leaflets) and we headed back out for another 10min to tackle another area before it was time to head back to Glass Mill.
Well done Team! We are going to be covering another area in Catford to spread the word about the project at the end of April.

A small team braved a chilly Sunday morning to support Keep Britain Tidy’s annual ‘Great British Spring Clean’.
Sadly, there’s always plenty of litter to be picked in SE7 and we tackled Anchor & Hope Lane so that those waiting for the 180/486/472 bus now have a vista of clean borders and a bit of the way round the corner along the Woolwich Road. No particularly interesting finds but we managed 8 bags between the four of us in just over an hour and hopefully Monday’s commuters will appreciate the difference!
*thanks to Felicity for organising the session and writing the report!

This week was a leafleting job for the Woolwich Library of Things - and what a brilliant initiative in our cash strapped, junk laden era, to be able to rent equipment for those bits of DIY we all put off. I mean, a wet and dry vacuum for £8.50 a day, who would turn that down?
And so our task was to get the word out there in the streets of Plumstead about the delights of the Library of Things on our very doorstep. After a little river run, our merry group of three scurried around those streets, finding a rather temping cupcake painting I've not noticed before, dispatching the last of the leaflets with great efficiency though we do say so ourselves.
Nice one team, until next time!

It's good to be back with the team after a week of skiing but more importantly it's good to have Oli back from his marathon running in Tokyo so I no longer have to think of puns (thinking of them makes my brain hurt)!
Monday's task was at Lewisham Unity which is a multifaith community based in Catford, they have a great outdoor space which is lined with some wonderful (but huge) trees and their leaves and twigs fall all over the garden area.
Our task was to clear all the leaves and twigs and either put in the garden waste bin or the leaves in the giant bags which in a couple of years will be mulch! We're still waiting on seeing this mulch after collecting the leaves last year too, maybe this time next year we will see the results of our hard work.
We also tackled a quick litter pick and by the time we were leaving the garden was looking much tidier of leaves.
Great work team!
