For this morning's task we spent our time helping Abbey People at the Margaret Community Orchard. Our aim was to clear a path to find a hidden pond. Nick and Harriet donned their gloves and picked up shears and loppers to take on the thorny task of cutting down a forest of brambles. We managed to clear a path to a rather malodorous pond. Nick valiantly endeavoured to clear debris from the pond. The sun came out to reward us and we were serenaded with some lovely birdsong.

We once again loaded up our backpacks and set off for a weighted jog delivering leaflets around the community in support of Cambridge City Foodbank's winter appeal 📨

The team met at Parkside Pool where Catherine distributed some of the haul to Caroline and Harriet. The 3 then set off for an illuminated jog across town to meet Michele in Newnham, where they paired up to make the task a social activity! 👩‍❤️‍👩

In just 40 min, we hand-delivered 300 leaflets! When we reconvened, we alll eagerly shared and compared our notes and observations on the beautiful glass door designs, doorways decorated with fairy lights, intricate (and sometimes glove-snatching!) letterboxes and curious dogs 🐶

In a double-header evening, we met Nick at a nearby pub for our January social. We warmed ourselves by the fire and ate some notably tasty chips, catching up and celebrating all the good deeds we'd accomplished this month - so far!!! 🫶

As a team, we're all super proud of the effort we're making and all the fun we're having along the way. Here's to keeping up the momentum and continuing to build and support our Cambridge community! 💪
