Well this was an interesting one!

We met with Claire the Vicar on site at St Mary's church and got tooled up with spades and ho's to starting the turning over of a piece of land on the graveyard ready for planting of wild flowers.

It was really tough going but we gave it our best and turned over a good section of grass on the site ready for future planting.

St Mary's church behind us was beautifully lit and provided a wonderful backdrop for the evening.

We were visited by a couple of local Bobby's on bikes who at first must have thought we were grave robbers but soon realized we were up to good and not no good.

Until next time, happy running! :)

It was indeed an upward journey from The Showroom this eve, but we got there.

An excellent effort from Monika who had already done a gym class during the day and to Amelia who in her own words normally only runs when she's late for something!

We met Adrian at the task location. Adrian was already hard at work when we arrived, he must have saw us coming as he was cutting down some planter to size.

After saying hello to Angela and co and being offered biscuits we got to work with various tasks including:

• Looping back willow which would be used in various on site tasks
• Moving heavy pots
• More cutting back

Although it was dark and we couldn't see all the grounds it was great to contribute to this space which has so much love put into it for the children and the surrounding community. We'll be back!

A big welcome back to Monika who joined us for her second GG task in a row. We hope you become a regular member and continue to join us each week.

This week we joined Jess from Common Thread and Regather fame at Union Street along with other volunteers to help sort some clothes out for Ben's Centre; a charity that aims to provide a safe space and an open hand to those who suffer through substance misuse and its associated barriers.

You can find out more about Ben's center here.

We sorted through Common Thread donnations and put bags together of wanted items for Ben's center including warm layers and clothes that would dry well after getting wet.

9 bags in total were sorted, ready to go to Ben's center.

Until next time, happy running! :)
