What a great morning at Thames Hospice care shop in Langley this morning.

It was a tad windy which meant that the emptied black bags kept blowing away but Clare did a great job of running after them!

In our hour of helping we sorted through 20 bags of donated clothes into colour season trends....whenever we do these tasks the one question you hear repeatedly is

What colour do you think this is?

Its actually harder than you think.

Great to have Pam and Janet help out too

Biggest bonus was that it was Manjit 900th good deed!

Thanks for getting involved

Lovely session wrapping Pressies & helping to prepare for Christmas Party at Stoke Park Trust. 50 members of the disability community benefited from a present wrapped up by a Goodgymer. The Goodgymers are definitely on Santa's nice list.

Well done to Jen Simpson for achieving her 600th task ! There is snow stopping her !

Six volunteers met at Upton Court park to do a litter pick, while some of us continued to walk to Eton and back, a 5k round trip. Good to catch up with volunteers new and old.

Clare and Sheila joined the monthly BBOWT workparty at Haymill Nature Reserve alongside a number of regular volunteers. Our task was to repair the structure forming a dam across the stream that runs across the reserve The stream bed was dry, which made our task easier. One group carried out a litterpick along the streambed, amassing 2 big bags of rubbish, while others foraged for saplings suitable for use as stakes. These were hammered in place where needed and hazel whips used to weave between the uprights. Once dead leaves and debris have been caught in the mesh it should prove an effective dam to retain the water. Despite the damp conditions our spirits were high and we were pleased with our handiwork
