9 ran to interact to help with the wildlife garden

The team met once again at the ideas hub and were pleased to welcome Sue who whilst new to us had been well trained by Angela in Colchester, so slotted in to both the group and the task with great energy.

We had a last minute change of plan so were pleased to be able to help out our friends at the Interact charity at Moulsham mill. Susie told us about the great work they do with young adults with learning difficulties and then set us to work, clearing branches from some planters and digging the path in the wildlife garden. The planters were then filled with the earth we had dug, ready for planting at the first signs of spring!

A great effort by everyone ment we filled 2 of the 3 remaining planters and moved some earth to help level the ground at the back.

We paused briefly for water and biscuits (although I think I ate the most again) and set off on an extended route back, because digging is not hard enough for this crew!

Back at the hub we discussed some exciting up coming projects and the weekends races whilst we stretched. Good luck to those doing Colchester half Marathon this weekend and of course Parkrun!

Catch you all next week!
