Mr K needed his weekly shop - we had a nice chat about our Easter adventures, then it was a pop to the shops for his usual staples, including lots of baked beans, casserole and bread.

It felt like winter rather than the start of spring as a few hardy souls braved the rain to help out at one of our semi-regular tasks at Kingsgate Church’s student foodbank.

Sarah had a few things on the agenda for us and Emma, Emily and Jade were quickly away with cleaning fridges and storage areas on one of the church’s many levels.

Dave and Tom spent the session assembling a new set of shelves, completion of which they were definitely more impressed by than others, while Beth and Rachel organised and checked best-before dates of new products that had been donated.

Everyone chipped in for the final effort of lifting new trays of donations into position, including perhaps the largest collection of tinned peas in existence anywhere in the world!

On a pretty miserable evening, our presence was very much appreciated in what turned out to be a good fun task.

A sunny bank holiday Monday is an extra bonus reason to get out and do some good! Today's 'anywhere' litter pick was just the task.

A group arranged to meet at Old Deer Park to pick together (let Liz know if you would like to be added to the group to keep up to date!).

Beth battled an Easter hangover to pick up other people's mess. Steph got up early to clear up evidence in the street of the night before. Anita cleared up around Manor Road and reported fly-tipping to the council too. Amy was surprised to find Twickenham Green quite clean. Liz and her son tackled the local park and filled four disgusting bags.

Back to normal group runs next Monday, finally back on British Summer Time! ☀️

Mr K needed his weekly shop so a standard trip to sainsburys was in order. On return he realised he forgot an item so I popped to the local shop for that, then helped him take out his rubbish to the outside bins ready for collection.

On this 1st day of spring weather, 6 GG members did a spring clean, where we were tasked to clear up the leaves at the front section of Heatham House Youth Club. We cleared around 10-15 large bin bags filled with leaves and quite a lot of litter which unfortunately gets thrown from the street across the wall. We were very pleased with our completed task and went off for a well earned coffee and enjoyed the lovely sunshine!
