Illuminating
4 GoodGymers made their way to help the Emanuel Parish Church in Newham.
- Saturday, 21st of October 2023
- Led by Sharon
Hilary and Graham headed to Emanuel Church after completing a very soggy Wanstead Flats parkrun.
Kevin and I took a leisurely bimble to join them.
The task from Sybil today was to clear an arch of grass,removed weeds and rubbish,dig in some compost and plant a mixture of spring glowering bulbs.
The advantage of being at the front of the church was being able to let local residents know what we were doing.
Once all the bulbs had been planted,grass and weeds placed on the compost pile we headed in to the church for refreshments.
One of Sybil's fellow church members Ajennie had made us some cheese toasties,drinks and also cut up some fresh fruit. Revered Chigor also joined us and they told us about the weekly projects they have to help the local community and that they have a place a bid for funding in The Big Vote
We will be listing the information regarding how we may be able to help with their weekly projects.
