Samina, Tabitha, Chris, Pete and Christian joined Jack at Corsham Sheltered Housing in Wembley to distribute soil into the raised beds to get them ready for planting in May. Much time was spent shovelling soil into wheelbarrows then taking them up to the raised beds and tipping the soil in. We welcomed Christian for the first time who came all the way from Kingston and did a great job. At the end we put the tools away. The beds are looking much better now. Well done everyone.

Tabitha , Chris , Beatriz , Nouri and Pete helped Jack from Seeds of growth shift around 1500 litres of soil into a raised bed We took it in turns filling barrows , walking them to the beds and shifting the soil .

This will help elderly residents be able to plant flowers this Spring .

There is plenty more to do so we will be coming back twice more: https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/goodgym-brent-moving-soil-into-raised-beds-for-elderly-residents-in-brent and https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/goodgym-brent-bank-holiday-soil-shifting-and-shaking

Tabitha Andy and Josh met in Willesden and enjoyed a jog to Queens Park in the lovely evening light We picked up 300 leaflets and met Lee to help us deliver them to the residents of Queens Park Lee realised it was Tabithas 300th good deed ! We delivered the leaflets and headed off , great work !!

On a beautiful Saturday I walked over to meet Natalia outside the property and in we went. We met Miss J and she showed us the jobs at hand, which were clearing the weeds from the sides of the path, between the pave stones, and in the flower bed. There was also a trampoline in the back of the garden which had been taken over by brambles, which Natalia did an amazing job of tackling! We forgot to get the before shot but she cleared a big area in front of the trampoline so that in the future the brambles in the trampoline could be tackled. We ploughed through the jobs in an hour and a half and managed to completely fill the green bin! Miss J was really grateful and we left feeling like it was a job well done.

We took the hangers out of the clothes, tidied the clothes then put away the hangers

Fitness challenge!

Four runners set out from Willesden to Abbey Road Community Centre. We welcomed Jack to his first ever Goodgym task !

At the community centre we met Lee and collected our leaflets, advertising the childrens drop in sessions and the creche. We then set off to the Rowley estate where we divided into two groups, and managed to distribute leaflets to all the flats between the five of us.

Our fitness levels were definitely challenged, running up and down all those stairs, and another run back to Willesden totalled 11.4km. Thanks for a sporting Monday!
