St Mary's Allotment, in Plaistow have asked for our help with dismantling and old shed and fence that have become unsafe to use.

St Mary's Allotment has been growing food for families locally since 1906. They have recently been working to maintain this history of gardening with the restoration of their cabin and community areas. 3 local schools and 2 elderly residences, food banks and community kitchens will all benefit from the updating of this fabulous community asset, whilst the biodiversity of wildlife and soil will be nurtured for years to come.

After the fun of cobweb removal on our last visit to Emmanuel Church.

Tonight we will return to the outside areas of the church for some weeding and planting to help improve the area for the local community and wildlife.

And I’m sure will be some refreshments for afterwards.

Back to help Care4Calais to sort their donations at their East London storage facility - we have some updates on the areas of the facility that they'd like us to focus on. In particular, we have some elastic bands to make shoes are paired together and also some new donated items to sort through.

In general, they have donated items to distribute to people seeking asylum across East London, many of whom came to the UK with only the clothes they are wearing whilst fleeing war and persecution, from countries including Sudan, Syria and Eritrea. Sorting the storage is an essential task to enable them to do that and we're only too happy to be able to help!

Where to meet:

We'll meet at 18:45 in the courtyard at the Print House - usually at or near the tables that run alongside the river. If you're new to GoodGym or our group in Newham, look out for anyone in a red GoodGym top and come and say hello! We love to meet new people and welcome all running abilities - there is a backmarker on every task to make sure no one gets left behind. The run to this task is about 2 miles each way. Note that there are toilets that we can use at the Print House, but no bag drop facilities at the moment.

You are also welcome to meet us at the task - we should be there by 19:15 and the address is:
