Our Goodgym crew were invited to lend a hand at Canonbury Gardens this evening, by the Manna Project, Islington (a foodbank and community hub for the vulnerable). The team were looking for a crew of helpful volunteers to rebuild some crumbly compost bins from within the park. The original bins were built on unstable ground, and have started to fall apart over the years, so our first task was to relocate these to a newly prepared spot.

Once we brought all the wooden planks and fixings together, Jo, Jacqueline and John held the structure together, while Harvey and Simon took it in turns to remove rusty old wood screws from the frame, and to position the correct slats in the right place. This proved to be a difficult job, but we succeeded with a boost of team work and positivity! After a few attempts, we were able to build a new, improved and completely functional compost bin.

Well done all. If you are itchy to see how the rest of the project comes together, you are very welcome to join us for new session, same time, next week!
