On a mild May day Bank Holiday numbers were down but spirit's were up as Tabitha Pete and Helen met in Willesden green, warmed up and ran 3km to our task.

We soon made it to Queens Park where goodymers Sam and Deborah met us ready to start delivering leaflets for Queens Park Community council. Their chairman John was waiting eagerly with a car boot full of leaflets, and a list of streets that needed leafleting.

We shared out the leaflets, and split the streets and set to work. Pete and Helen won bonus fitness points as they dropped leaflets to houses with doors alternating between up and down a flight of stairs. Sam, Tabitha and Deborah finished their first street in no time, and started on a second. John helpfully drove his car to regular meeting points so that we would only need to carry one box of leaflets at a time.

It wasn't long until we had delivered to all of our allocated streets, so we re grouped for a team photo, before heading off...some straight home and others 3km back to Papagayo for a well earned drink :-)


This task supported

QPCC is the first Community Council in London. We came into existence following the May elections in 2014 after local residents voted for the first London Community/Parish Council to be established. The Council has a unique opportunity to better serve and represent the 12,500 residents of Queen’s Park and we are doing so by focusing on community engagement. We are an apolitical council whose aims are to provide residents with a community they wish to see by improving educational opportunities; improving social and economic wellbeing and improving the appearance of the local area.
