Helping Single Homeless Charity Clients with their allotment project in Ilford
ONLY MISSION VERIFIED (GOODGYM DBS VERIFIED) MEMBERS MAY ATTEND WEDNESDAY SESSIONS.
There are lots of jobs from weeding to planting and general maintenance of the site. ! More information about the charity and project can be found here: Single Homeless Project and here: Greenhouse Project.
This is a London-wide charity working to prevent homelessness and help vulnerable and socially excluded people to transform their lives. Their GreenHouse sessions help people reduce isolation and build confidence from being part of something.
TASKS: There are multiple projects on site that we can help with, we have been asked to keep fruit trees free from weeds and well watered, to weed and water the flower beds, which the clients then maintain with sowing and growing variety of wildflowers and help keep paths clear from grass and weeds. If you have hand-forks, trowels or even a large gardening fork, do bring it in:)
TOOLS: Bring gardening gloves, warm and waterproof clothing depending on the weather.
PLEASE NOTE- THERE IS NO ACTUAL POSTCODE FOR THE ALLOTMENT ENTRANCE IT IS AT THE BOTTOM OF SUNNYSIDE ROAF BETWEEN STAINES ROAD AND LOXFORD LANE. WHAT THREE WORDS = ///supporter.loaf.trucks

Bus and the Beanstalk
It was a bit of a trial taking donated beanstalks to the SHP allotments on the bus as they only just fit between the floor and the ceiling but it was an adventure as we had a bird’s eye view of a local murder site (macabre I know) and managed to “pap” a local news reporter in the process. As the bus stopped at the top of Gordon Road we took the opportunity to collect the Street Tag booty for the GGR teams.
On arrival we emptied the container of food waste into the compost and gave it a good turning over, gave all the fruit trees two cans of water as well as watering all the beds and herbs, an hour later we gave Gordon Road another TAG sweep on the way back to the bus stop.
