Tonight was our first time visiting Frere Road Community Centre. After a 5km run or walk to the venue we met Claire who had all the tools ready.

The main task was covering the outside wall in 'Brilliant White' paint! It had already been prepared for us - thank you - with weeds cleared and paint dusted, so we could get stuck in straight away.

In an hour the 5 of us covered approx 10m, with rollers, ladders and brushes, making sure the bricks were covered evenly. Eloise also managed to cut back a tall bush at the front if the building to reveal a lovely canary murial.

The transformation was brilliant indeed! We hope to return for more painting very soon - there is plenty more to do.

17 young people enjoying the great outdoors on a humid Sunday morning. lovely to see the numbers increasing

Today we were asked to bring toiletries for Norwich Food bank & as usual those attending today did not disappoint and very very generous with many donations. 384 joggers/walker/runners on a very hot morning.

Mrs M is a spritely 92 and enjoys looking out over her garden but finds trimming the hedges and feeding the roses tricky so I popped over to help.

A second visit to Mrs Js, with more work on trimming the hedges and making things tidy, it was a very pleasant experience and things looked much more tidy when I finished. Mrs J was very happy!

This was a lovely task, but in baking sunshine.

Mrs E was looking to get a new coat of paint on her shed, I managed to get around 3 sides of it during this session and it looks a lot better for it.

A second coat will be needed as well as the back of the shed, so a return would be welcome, ideally with two people so the whole thing can be finished in one go.
