Share the love
Sam and his friend Sam met Sandy and the Kennington Park Road TRA for an afternoon of painting and gardening.
A month or so ago, Emma McNally and Lindsay had sanded the donated wooden bench and so, this time around we were ready to put a coat of prime (white paint) on the bench. Since this was a two person job, Sam's friend Sam decided to do a bit of litter picking and gardening.
After an hour and a half, the first coat of primer was on, so Sam played a bit of footie with Eden.
A lovely afternoon for all and next time, we have been invited for a BBQ with our GoodGym session.
This task supported
Helping a block of residents to utilise the communal garden, such as cutting back some hedges. Possibly to clear a specific area of land from domestic rubbish and make the space good again.
We have established a TRA (Tenant & Residents Association). Our small gardening projects enables residents including children from their families, to use the communal space. We also host events that include other local TRAs such as being the venue for gardening training & workshops.
