A group of us gathered on a still warm October eve to help Ken with some bulb planting. We worked in a small area of the cemetery park and planted over 250 crocuses. These will flower in the new year and enhance the wild beautiful look of the park.

A light mist descended on us as we took up our trowels and starting digging deep (as deep as the trowel to protect those bulbs from hungry squirrels)! It was dark as we started, but we were equipped with our headtorches and spotlights, diligently gardening among the grass and graves as the bats flew overhead. Some worked so ferociously that even the tools were no match for their pure strength!

A big welcome to Jo and Beate joining us for your first task! It was great to have you there and an enjoyable Monday evening. Hope to see you again soon!

This was the second task of the day helping Eve and her team of volunteers at over the wall charity to support the Climb the Capital challenge.

With hundreds of runners completing the stair race across three buildings in the city of London, there were opportunities for bag drop, marshal points and water stations.

Sooz grabbed as much water as she could carry and took up position at the top of the first building - the infamous Cheesegrater - helping keep the athletes hydrated as they arrived at their first checkpoint.

When Sam arrived, it was all hands on deck to carry boxes across to the finish line at the Walkie Talkie, and pack away the remaining banners.

Then they both convened at the bag drop to meet Louise for the final few minutes and obligatory GoodGym photo shoot.

A successful morning helping many brilliant people raising money for various charities make it round this sky high feat!

St Peter’s was looking really nice this evening, especially with the lights we put up during our last session now all lit up!

We split into two groups, with one group outside collecting up the leaves and clearing them away. Once we had gathered them all up, they were put into the compost, giving them a chance to eventually go back into the ground and give something back to the garden.

The other group definitely had a more hands-on job, getting stuck into taking things down, unscrewing bits, carrying boxes and helping to clear and reorganise the space inside the church. There was plenty to get involved with, and everyone was happy to get stuck in.

Lucinda was also busy giving one of the benches a fresh coat of paint, while a few cats made an appearance outside too!

With so many people coming along, it made for a really enjoyable evening with plenty of teamwork, good vibes and lots getting done.
