Wednesday 3rd April
Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
It was yesterday evening. I made tea. I sat on my bed. I opened my computer and went to YouTube.
how to DIY fill hole in wall
This was what I searched, folks. I was still scarred from my last attempt at using polyfilla. Which was 20 minutes before the check-out-scary-inventory-deposit-reducing-meeting at my last rental. They took the deposit, folks, they took it to do the holes again.
Yet... this evening was different! And certainly because I was surrounded by the wonderful Alice, Faye(who was on their first GoodGym good deed - congrats!!), Jackie, John, Liz, and Steve.
We'd grasped the spring worm this evening, enjoying the longer light to traverse the bustle between Barbican and the Brady Arts and Community Centre, where our task awaited us.
Social Action for Health are a gorgeous charity working within the community in Tower Hamlets, and they need their volunteer room at the Brady spruced and enlivened, and we'll be doing just that over the coming weeks.
Our task this evening was to get the ball rolling, which we did by removing brackets from yesteryear and filling their left-behind holes.
This group took the tasks and ran with them to completion. Amidst a setting twilight, this room became a happy space filled with screwdrivers, pliers, hole filler, putty knives, and hoovers. And 40 minutes later, we'd gotten this space a short span away from being ready to paint.
Thanks, everyone, I had the most wonderful evening, and you made a real difference this evening.
Nice one!
