Greenwich
Made in Greenwich Flyering!
GCDA run a shop called Made in Greenwich that stocks high quality locally handmade goods made by people who have been previously going through a rougher patch in their lives. Made in Greenwich works to build peopleβs confidence up by getting them back working and selling their products. www.madeingreenwich.shop
GCDA need help to deliver 1500-2000 flyers to local homes to encourage people to shop locally this Christmas so we're setting two evenings to lend a hand.
We'll meet outside the Zaibatsu cafe on Trafalgar Rd at 6pm. Please bring some gloves and layer up, baby it's cold outside!

Another farm visit? That's un-herd of...
We all love a visit to the farm! π΄πππ·
Unfortunately, there were less animals at the farm this time. It seems some have met their end. Such is life. π₯π₯©
There were 3 tasks for us today:
- Clearing the animal pen (sheep, goats and donkeys) - Lucia and Sree
- Putting manure on the community raised beds - Dom and Sara
- Clearing the nettles from the donkey field - Ceiling, Emer and I (later, Lucia and Sree)
The 2 hours zoomed by and all tasks were complete apart from the nettles, which has been an on-going task for the past couple of missions here. I have vowed it will be done by the end of the year!
There was a chance at the end to look at the animals for a little meet and greet π

- setting up sanitation stations
- counting everything in hall 3
- more counting in hall 3 (loads to count!)
- labeling the halls
- fixing & decorating walls
- assisting electricians
- putting tables together
- tea/coffee break
- helping to put up (Christmas?) lights
- swapping broken printer
- finishing reception area flooring
- tidying up outside of reception area
Apologies if I left any off, there was so much going on, near impossible to track everything & everyone!
A few names to highight:
We had one person come down for the first time! Welcome to the Goodgym family Dami! Newhams Helen can be looking forward to her black t-shirt after completing her 50th task! That banana cake looked delicious and was well earned. And Natalie will be floating home carried by her newly acquired wings - 100 tasks for this Greenwich regular.
Thanks to Nick & Sharon for taking pictures and big thank you from Richard and the Crisis team for all the work done!
There are a couple of sessions up for next week, shifting from evenings to day time on Wednesday & Thursday. Like the Saturdays, these are logged as 10-4, but you can come later and/or finish earlier - very much flexible volunteering! So if you need an excuse to escape the house for a little while, why not pop round and help out for a while?
