Rain or shine we gather at Glass Mill or in the case of this week, it was me accidentally hiding the listing but we still gathered!
In a nice change of pace, the whole group walked to the task and I have to say I did enjoy it.
We arrived at RUSS to the sound of gravel being moved and banging, at first we were unable to locate the source thinking it was on the roof but then we found Steve and the RUSS team who were giving us instructions for the task.
We had one group digging up the stones and another weeding the flower beds. We made such a difference in a short space of time!
Off to Mamma Dough for a post-group run social, Vic had been dreaming of that pizza since we arrived at Glass Mill!
We were also celebrating Matt's 100th good deed - congratulations Matt, it's a pleasure to have you along to the group runs and you always get stuck into the tasks! We look forward to the next 100!!
RUSS is a volunteer-led Community Land Trust based in south London, founded in 2009 with the mission of creating sustainable neighbourhoods and genuinely affordable homes. We aim to bring together people and nature to build a more mutually beneficial world. RUSS is building 36 new flats at 12 Church Grove in Ladywell which are aiming to be low-carbon, and will be a mix of flats for sale, shared ownership, and social and affordable rent. Future residents and volunteers have been involved in the construction process since January 2023, and others will join to help build bike and bin stores, finish off flats and communal areas, and plant and look after the gardens. https://www.theruss.org/
