On a balmy Wednesday evening a group of us met at the Castle and jogged a beautiful loop (via the ever-charming dinosaurs of Pasley Park) and picked up our task - in the form of many, many flyers - from Pembroke House.
We set to, walking and jogging an organic route through the nearby streets, targeting all and any letterboxes, and at best doors with multiple letterboxes. Deciding on our flyering route felt somewhat like a task on The Apprentice, with Zoe very much stepping up as our Week One team leader.
The flyers are advertising the charity's new weekend market at Walworth Living Room, inviting the local community to meet local traders at a space where they are welcome to pop in any time for a free tea, coffee and just to relax. If you're in the neighbourhood - pop in on a Saturday, any time 10-2 to have a look at the local market!
Next week we're back off to the amazing Lollard Street Adventure Playground - let's go!

On Wednesday the Elephant & Castle team met at the Castle Centre and jogged (via a quick sneak peak at next week's location) down to the amazing Walworth Living Room - a charming community space offering a warm, welcoming home-from-home for local residents.
We got straight to it - Jorge and James steaming the sofas right into a new lease of life; alongside Dominic, Manuel and Lena between them setting the garden up for the new weekend events hosting a local market; and lovingly cleaning the approximately 2000 toys available for the kids; and finally Charlie and Jessie deep cleaning and "setting up a system" for the kitchen, before heading out to flyer for the weekend events.
We took a lovely quiet running route back to the Castle and all celebrated another great week at the Four Quarters (with some excellent reinforcements thanks to Jorge!)
