Tonight, the team showed that even with a few regulars missing, a dozen hands can make a huge impact! We arrived to find Neaz and the team of Friends of Mostyn Gardens, ready to tackle an overgrown flower bed. Hacking back elderflower, pulling out stubborn ivy, and getting our hands dirty digging out weeds and turning the soil - it was a satisfying session.

Having cleared the way for the planting, we look forward to returning at the end of July to help with more jobs. Well done team!

Rufu and Steve arrived to join Jade at Merton's Community Friday to lend a hand with the clean up after a busy distribution session. There was plenty of boxes to clean and rubbish to sort into the relevant piles and then take out to the larger bins. There was also time to re-organise some of the crates until the rain came but the main jobs were completed within the hour and the team were on their way with loaves of bread.

Our third visit to Raynes Park station to help with the planting. After donning our high-viz jackets, it was all hands on deck to move the delivery of soil from the street up to the platforms, fill the planters and beds, then do the watering. Luckily we had a large turn out of loco-motivated volunteers for a heavy job, and the new recruits swiftly passed their training. A special welcome to Alex for her first task. After all that hard work, some of us let off steam over a swift half at the local pub - just the ticket.
