We've been doing quite a bit of flyering recently, so much so that we must be pretty much experts at it... This evening's session came earlier than expected courtesy of cancellation from Newham Hospital. It probably is a tad chilly for gardening at the moment, so hopefully we can pick up with them again in the New Year. And at least with flyering, you get to keep moving! It also meant we were able to accommodate Mabel the dog in her last session with us for now, but hope it's not too long before she might be able to join us again.

Said flyers were to promote local volunteering opportunities with Food Cycle in case you missed it - they've got a new location just down the road from us in Plaistow and are looking for folks to help with their community dining experiences. Read more about them here.

Shout out to Hitesh for making it - it's been a while, so it was great to see you again. We do hopefully have at least one indoor festive task lined up this side of the Christmas, details to be confirmed as soon as we have them and next week we're back up the canal to Hackney Marsh Adventure Playground - sign up here.

Community meal providing free, delicious, three course meals to the community using surplus food that would otherwise go to waste!

Every week, we run a community meal at Pilgrims Way Church, where the local community are free to sit down and enjoy a delicious, free, three course vegetarian meal, cooked by our lovely volunteers. We can't run the meals without volunteers so we're keen to reach more potential volunteers in the Newham area by leafletting and telling people about what we do!
