All of our tasks are fun, but this one really felt like we were having a clear and direct impact on those in need, and whilst packing the bags we could literally imagine a child opening their bag on Christmas Day.

This task supports the organisation Penn Rd Residents Association
Penn Road Residents Association is a group formed of the residents of Penn Rd, N7 London; we work together to make the garden at the end of the street a community space and organize a summer and winter party for residents and gardeners
We were the first community group to get a contract from Islington Council to maintain the garden at the end of our street, and have made it useable for the residents and a beautiful space for the community to enjoy
