Monday 30th September
Report written by Laura Williams
A fab-sized team gathered in Newell Street this evening for our task with Ocean Youth Connexions and Tower Hamlets Community Transport Hub.
Meeting outside King’s Wharf Park before 7, we caught up on the news from the weekend and discussed the night’s task.
Kamal, from Ocean Youth, came down to greet us as our group size was growing and we slowly made our way into the garage area to be briefed on tonight’s task.
Ocean Youth Connexions offer a range of youth provision across the borough, during term time and the school holidays.
The organisation has recently relocated its offices to Limehouse, to join the Tower Hamlets Community Transport team, a small charity ‘set up to provide transport to voluntary and community groups in Tower Hamlets’.
Gathering in the garage area, surrounded by equipment for tonight’s task, Kamal proceeded to run through the list of tonight’s activities, which included another big leaf-clearing in the outdoor area; a thorough cleaning of all the upstairs windows, and a sugar-soaping of the toilet walls, in preparation for next month’s big painting activity.
The GoodGymers worked fast, moving onto new tasks including radiator-cleaning and jasmine-pruning.
It was now well and truly dark, complete with an Autumn wind, but thankfully, the outside area at the Hub is beautifully (flood)lit.
As always, the time flew and just before 8, Emma, John and Lucinda were heading up the task wrap-up effort, finishing slickly and precisely at 8.
Another great night with Ocean Youth - we return on the 28th October... Save The Date!
Ocean Youth Connexions has been providing youth and community activities in Tower Hamlets since 2002. Activities range from youth club sessions, parent-and-children evenings, football training, Taekwando, homework clubs, cycling proficiency training and employment support workshops.
