Report written by Katie Welford
Our original task of Vauxhall Foodbank had been postponed so Lambeth runners were treated to a trio of lovely tasks. The first group was led by Issy and it was an 8km round trip up to the Portico. There were lots of bits to move around and some containers of water to be emptied out, which are used as weights for the West Norwood Feast gazebos.
The second group went 1km each way to Loughborough Farm. There was a garden shed that needed squeezing past a big digger and taking out of the farm and over the road to a new orchard that is going to be planted there. The team managed it with some finesse.
The third group stayed at our home, Papa's and gave it a right old tidy up. We got rid of broken old toys and did some excellent pruning along the fence. A tree that was sprouting tiny new trees from it's roots got cut right back. Everyone was delighted.
We did some running games and some stretches and that was that.
The Portico Gallery is a sprawling space that offers everything from yoga to art and pottery classes as well as running monthly music nights and the famous Feast market. The space supports many community groups, including those on low incomes, asylum seekers and other vulnerable people.
