A group of 12 members of Southwark, including new member Amanda, headed to Copleston Community Centre to deep clean their kitchen.

It's a great task as the Community Centre supports so many local organisations, including the Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers.

With 12 of us in the kitchen it was a tight squeeze but we managed to get everything spotless in 40 minutes.

Then we headed to The Gowlett Arms for pizza and a great evening!

To mark the end of the Easter weekend, the best of Lewisham (and Greenwich) met at Glass Mill to run to Ladywell Fields to try and get to the end of the pile of woodchip.

Focusing on one woodchip pile this week, we began shovelling and wheelbarrowing and carrying bucket full of woodchip to the hedge saplings.

It was a good strength workout and we definitely got our steps in as some hedge saplings were quite far from the pile of woodchip.

With all saplings mulched and the pile much smaller than when we arrived it was time to say our goodbyes and head back to Glass Mill.

We've helped plant and care for these hedge saplings over the past couple of years so it's wonderful to see them growing.

Thanks to Ivar for the pun!

Next week we are heading to The Albany which will be around 4.5km run in total and we'll be joined by the garden team so expect more tasks like shovelling and woodchip over the usual litter pick.
