Our monthly visit to the Richmond Furniture Scheme seems to come around quicker and quicker every time!

We had six Goodgymers turn up raring to go on a glorious and much welcome sunny morning.

Both Jack and Pippa in particular seemed energised having run 10k and 8k respectively.

Once arrived, we were tasked by Lucy with finishing off clearing the back of the RFS building by cutting back and racking up the vines and the overgrown ivy.

Karla and Suze proved adept at chopping the vines back on the building, Adam focused on the undergrowth, while Chris removed the resulting debris.

Overall a job well done and we avoided cutting it vine.

Various tasks awaited the group in the garden at INS this morning, requiring similar tools but very different levels of force.

Adam and Karla set about the more genteel task of weeding the raised beds, carefully discerning between friend and foe before discarding the offending weeds.

JP, Chris, and Rosie took to the alleyway to scrape moss from the path to make it safer for service users. After a brief interlude to break down a cabinet for later disposal at the tip, all debris was swept up and we left the place looking much tidier than when we arrived.
