Report written by Madhan
We had a lighting and thunderstorms in our forecast for this evening. That was welcomed as the last few days were not so great with the hot sun.
Lamise the Task owner from Young Ealing Foundation whatsapped me where the tools were hours prior to the task. 3 Goodgymers signed up. But we had only 2 tools to use. A brush and a Patio weed remover. Both of them were brand new. We also had a can of Weedkiller.
Sevan took the brush and tried his best to collect the weeds as the head didn't fit the stick properly. We had to use the brush in a certain direction.
I was scraping the cracks of the patio and took the weeds out. The drizzle became heavier and we had to take a short break.
Clare then joined us and she had to resort to using her hands to pull the weeds out.
After scraping, brushing and binning for an hour we see the sun started showing its face and the rain had stopped signalling that we need to end the task.
The young Ealing foundation is set up to provide support for organisations working with young people. We also directly work with our ‘Ealing young champions’ and the room we need help with is one where the young champions can chill in, but also where we can train and support the charity youth workers
