Tonight the litterpicker got metaphorically and literally passed on!
Natasha and I took a jog around the waterfront which was brooding and threatening to rain - but held off- before meeting Paul to get stuck in to familiar grot spots near the skate park. Suffice to say these public areas had been 'well used' over the Bank Holiday with a lot of rubbish to be disposed of. A whole bin's worth in fact!
A man thanking us for our graft and enquiring how he could get involved got more than he bargained for: given we were carrying a surplus of litter pickers,it seemed only right to pass it on so off I went chasing him - in a non- threatening way, of course - with it in my hand! Let's hope he puts it to use and can also inspire others too.

Natasha Kerry completed 25 good deeds with GoodGym.
Natasha has already done 25 good deeds with GoodGym. Instead of doing anything else, they've used their run to go and help people that need their help; digging, lifting, scraping, clearing, planting and weeding. Stuff that makes this a better place to be.

What a day for Polish Heritage Day! As we approached Castle Hill Community centre the sun was starting to emerge, flags swaying in the breeze and it was a hive of activity. First up for Natalie: making the hamper followed by lots of balloon inflating and distributing. Natasha got the coffee and tea station set up and there was time to soak up the atmosphere and have a quick bite of delicious apple cake.
Congratulations to The Polish Community Hub for putting on such a vibrant day.

Am I showing my age with the Art Attack reference? Anyone else remember the creative tv show with Neil Buchanan?
Tonight we made our way to help creative hub Rock Paper Scissors. As always it was a joy to enter, brimming with colour and optimism and greeted by wonderful Lulu who showed us the ropes.
Whilst Paul and Natasha were returners to RPS, we were thrilled to have Lizzie join us after a hiatus. Welcome back!
We got stuck in organising their array of materials. Are labels to go with stickers? What's the difference between tempera and ink paints? Do staplers count as office hardware?
These were the pressing questions of the night. And the re-ordering proved to most mindful and therapeutic. True to form, we were also treated to a little snack for our effort.
Thanks for having us, Rock Paper Scissors!

Natasha Kerry earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Natasha completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Natasha was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

It was with a certain trepidation that Magda said that there was quite a lot to do getting the allotment back on track after Winter. But and Natalie like a challenge.
Sleeves rolled up, a monster spade, trowel and hoe and these two Good Gymers were ready to go.
The task was to de-weed the overgrown beds and turn the soil to get it fresh and ready for planting.
In an hour and half, two thirds of the beds were looking ready for seeds or plants with some particularly satisfying and hefty removals.
Look forward to going back and seeing it in its glory once shoots start to emerge.
