Skip Garden Report:
21 of us headed to Skip Garden, it's been a while since we've helped Global Generation with their work but it was great to be back under the pretty lights and amongst the skips, bees and chickens.
Harvest Festival prep!
Our task was to be heavy lifters, a group of four lifted ten huge heavy bags of soil, a bookcase and a planter from a storage cupboard to the back entrance. Meanwhile the main group formed a chain gang to move logs, crates and more from one location to another for storage.
After finishing up we headed to the canals for some running and then everyone smashed a time trail around Granary Square! Everyone smashed it!
Abbey Community Centre Report:
A team of 9 headed north via Primrose Hill on a speedy mission to deliver leaflets for the wonderful Abbey Community Centre, based near Kilburn, about their older persons services and community cafe.
The brilliant Brent Trainer Pritesh was on hand to lead the gang around town - great job!
Please note someone left a John Lewis suit & suit bag in the Living Centre - please contact me if that's you
Sign up next week here when we'll be helping Sheltered housing and Coram Fields.
