We volunteered at the Surrey Docks Farm Harvest Festival, helping set up tables, chairs, and animal enclosures to get the space ready for the day's celebrations. Together, we worked alongside farm staff to create a welcoming environment for visitors, and also took part in feeding the animals, which was a fun and hands-on experience. At the end of the day, we were rewarded with a quiet moment to admire the new born piglets, making the whole experience even more special and memorable.

Can't believe it's been 3 years! And on this day, we managed to break another attendance record of 187 finishers after smashing the previous record earlier in the summer (182 finishers).
After marshalling and cheering on the kids, we celebrated with cake and apples (the healthy option).

It was a single person mission, the bar staff was very helpful - navigating me to where the lockers were. I stayed upstairs near the bar awaiting donations at first, I brought the first batch downstairs and got on with what needed doing awaiting for whatever was to come.

Today Linda and I went to Peckham Rye park to help set up for the fete. There were many volunteers already there but also lots to do!
Linda was put to work on the book stall, setting up gazebos and arranging the books. Meanwhile, I got the job of labelling bins followed by putting up bunting around the dog show arena.
When we left the park was bustling and ready to go. It looks like it will be a good day!

I really enjoyed this mission. I helped clear a lovely garden of weeds, tidying it up for the owner who's a keen gardener but had been unable to work on it due to an injury. I cleared 6 bags of weeds, tidying up tools and swept up 💪🏻

We kicked things off at Old Spike and somehow managed to dodge the heavy rain as we made our way over to Old Alleynian Rugby Club. We had three newbies with us—Roland, Kamil, and Olga—great to have them along for their first Southwark Group Run!
Ian met us at the club and set us up with some weeding and patching up the pitches with seed. Once the hard work was done, we got our reward: a game of touch rugby. Ian then fueled us up with winegums before our run back.
After that, it was back to Old Spike and straight on to Brick Brewery for a well-earned drink and a good catch-up.
