Report written by Sarah Moore (She/her )
Sarah was first to arrive at tonight's task, having run from home and braved running past legions of Spurs supporters while wearing a red t-shirt.
Our destination was just past the stadium, a small supported housing block. We were met by Maria, who introduced us to the residents and explained that there was a tree in the garden blocking one resident's view.
Armed with a shears, secateurs and gloves Sarah and resident D assessed the situation. Those were some very tall branches, and even with a ladder we might not be able to remove them safely.
Sarah settled from cutting what she could down low, to thin the tree out a little.
Asan arrived and pitched in to help with some litter picking - unfortunately there are some rather unsavoury neighbours who throw things over the fence.
Having cleared the area of litter, Sarah and Asan were able to pile the cut branches under the trees in the corner of the garden. At least everything looked a lot neater than when they arrived.
Saying goodbye to D, Sarah reminded D that soon the trees would lose their leaves and he would be able to see through the branches after all!
Support staff and tenants across Hornsey Housing Trust with our sheltered accommodation schemes across Haringey to provide a communal space for our tenants to enjoy.

My GoodGym Experience Yesterday I joined a GoodGym session at a local community centre with Sarah and the group. I really enjoyed the experience and meeting new people. GoodGym is very beneficial for me. It helps improve my health, gives me new knowledge and experience, and helps me communicate and connect with different people in the community. Sarah did a great job organising the session, supporting everyone and taking photos. Thank you very much, Sarah, for your time and hard work! I would be very happy to join and help again at future sessions. I encourage everyone to get involved in this kind of positive community work. Thank you everyone, and see you at the next session!
