Another week, another GG task - this week we were heading to The Albany to help in the garden. The team at The Albany have been focusing on the garden and making the best use of the space. Our tasks for the evening were to level out the compost pile and a litter pick of the garden. The litter gets blown in by the wind and also the foxes spread it around the garden.

We split into groups to tackle the different tasks and then got to work!

If anyone remembers the giant compost pile from our last visit, it was nearly as tall as most of us and was not easy to maintain. Luckily most of that had been cleared before we arrived so we had the task of leveling out what remained. Hopefully next time we visit there will be some dedicated compost bays!!

The litter team did a wonderful job of collecting 5+ bags of litter! One group I couldn't drag away from a pile of litter, that's definitely a better position to be in than no one wanting to litterpick.

Well done to everyone - we made a huge difference last night! Next week we are heading to Hither Green to do some tree care and post-driving.

We gathered at Glass Mill with the excitement of clearing the basement at Lewisham Unity building, nearly the same level of excitement as when we cleared the basement at Seniors!! After a quick warm up we were on our way to Lewisham Unity, it's a long straight run, there's is an option to go through Ladywell Fields but it adds on a bit of distance.

We made it past all the kebab shops making us feel hungry to find there was a meditation session happening and we wouldn't be clearing the basement...but there were lots of leaves to clear in the garden.

Not to be deterred by the change in task, the team got stuck in and soon there were bags and bags full of leaves! And also sticks neatly piled next to the skip.

Great work everyone, especially with a change of task!
