Due to frozen ground we'd had a change around of tasks and it was another week of finding those abandoned Christmas Tree's around the borough.

We split into groups and tackled the longer roads around Hilly Fields which my logic thought the far end people might not have wanted to drag them all the way to the drop off point but no success.

Then we headed to Ladywell which is usually prime Christmas tree area but not the usual success their either.

We didn't meet the lofty heights of last weeks 30 trees but we did smarten up the streets of Lewisham by finding one tree!! Well done Paul, you saved the task and made sure we didn't go home empty handed.

Welcome Louise to your first group run, hope you enjoyed the session despite the lack of abandoned Christmas trees!

See you all next week!

Let's hope so anyway! Today, five of us gathered in Charlton to distribute the rest of the leaflets to publicise the opportunity to buy the White Swan pub. Ivar, still sporting his sore hand from Wendesday night's leafleting session, came back for more - such is his appetite for doing good...and winning top spot in his workplace volunteer league table 😎

We soon got through the last few hundred leaflets we had. Fingers crossed enough can be raised to secure the purchase of the pub!

Thanks to you all and wishing you a very Happy Christmas! See you for more good deeds in 2026.
