'Bridging the Gap for Autism’ had asked for help assembling a flat-pack plastic shed at their new allotment space in Sidcup.

It was the perfect day for an outdoor task with a clear blue sky and lovely warm sunshine.

Dave from the charity had already laid the base on the plot and he took the lead in the project with GoodGymers Sarah and Johnny providing extra hands.

As with many flat-pack builds, there was fair amount of discussion about which way the different panels and struts needed to go together, but Dave was well-prepared with all the tools we needed so things progressed pretty smoothly.

Sadly we had to leave after a couple of hours, so we didn't get to see the roof go on or the door being hung, but we've been invited back on Saturday to see the completed structure in all its glory.
