Writes John,
"Once you’ve been to Tower Hamlets GoodGym, you never really leave. Danya and Chris both reappeared after some time pursuing other interests, and even recently-unwell Fiona made an appearance, looking dazzling (or was it her reflective cycle jacket?).
Lucinda, Tom and Ilana, all newbies this year, soon became regular attenders, while stalwarts Martin and Rohan can always be depended on.
Meanwhile, Oliver forgot to mention that he recently completed FIFTY good deeds in little more than a year.
Well done Oliver!
The task at Cranbrook Community Centre, Bethnal Green, was a familiar one: removing leaves and dirt which had gathered between the big fence and the little fence. We split into several teams; some were equipped with cutters to trim back the leaves which were overshadowing public areas. I helped sweep up the resulting debris.
Laura had to dash off to one of her other numerous activities, and somehow we managed to wrap things up and take the final picture without her guidance.
And of course we’ll be back next week - and also on Thursday!.
Finally, look out for news of a November social. (It’ll be in November)".
This award-winning garden was designed and built from a desolate children’s playground nearly 10 years ago. The garden is maintained by residents of the estate and surrounding area, and aims to bring the whole community together to create social cohesion to this corner of Bethnal Green.
