Yesterday, Dan and Emma and I went to Surrey Docks Farm to help out. Kate from the farm met us at the gates and quickly put us to work. Our task was to brush away oil soil from lots of plant pots and then tidy them away, ready for spring next year. We worked through the pile and managed to finish all of it. We had a brief visit from some ferrets who were being walk, and enjoyed exploring our empty pots. Also collected all the snails that were inside the pots and fed them to the ducks.

We finished with a tour of the farm, visiting all the animals, since it was Dan's first time!

This Wednesday we had a group run to Dawson's Heights.

This week the task was to get some plants started, ready to grow in the future seasons. We split into two groups: One group planted some bulbs around. We planted these in little, mixed, clusters. We should hopefully see some colour come spring next year! The other group concentrated on planting vegetable plugs into the planters.

Fingers crossed, 🤞, we'll see the fruits of our labour next year.

Two GoodGym volunteers helped at the Borough Food Cooperative, sorting donated food and uncovering some surprise produce along the way, including chocolate peppers and mottled courgettes. It was a lively session proving that food doesn't have to look perfect to be fresh, tasty, and worth saving from waste!

Two GoodGym volunteers supported the Borough Food Cooperative (BFC) by helping sort and prepare donated food for distribution. Tasks included checking the quality of fresh produce, stocking shelves, creating mixed food trays, and assisting with general shop operations. Their contribution helped reduce food waste while ensuring local residents could access affordable, good-quality food with dignity and choice. Through their volunteering, they supported BFC's mission of tackling both food poverty and food waste within the community

Nice working work with a workout.

Tracey and I helped Barbara and Marie to setup the SE5 Forum stall in quick time.
