Barrow Buddies.... Chipping Away at the Task!

Monday 2nd June

Written by Wilson

Its amazing how much woodchip you can move when everybody "chips" in 😊

We had the task of woodchipping a path that runs around the edge of the farm - with the instruction of "put plenty on" - so thats what we did! We also weeded an area and woodchipped that too!

No lovely Richard on hand this evening to share his knowledge, but really pleased that he was able to have an evening off and GoodGym were able to successfully complete the task.

Awesome work Barrow Buddies - thankyou 👍

Brambling on in Portswood Rec

Saturday 31st May

Written by Chris C

Finn and I joined the Friends of Portswood Rec, clearing up brambles and and other weeds around the park.

We cleared the tennis court which was slowly being invaded by weeds, dodging the occassional tennis ball.

Denise was really happy with our progress and would even like us to come back sometime - a great task overall.

Helping Southampton Action

Wednesday 28th May

Written by Wilson

Sorted donations ready for packs of clothes to be made up for male refugees who have no clothes. So sad as such a small percent of the donations are any good and for men. Also enjoyed trying to work out how to put a donated wardrobe together.... got there in the end!

Mind the nettles!

Sunday 25th May

Written by Stephanie (She/Her)

A good workout session for us as we were clearing grass and weeds so we could dig the area. Slight hitch in proceedings as Stephanie managed to snap the fork handle! Not a problem as Ziggy soon advised it had woodworm damage already. We don't usually blame the tools! Lauren and Stephanie filled four shopping trolleys worth of grass and cuttings. April did great work helping to clear up our mess with the help of Alan from Friends of Bitterne Station. Refreshments were provided as they are a very hospitable group. We will be back to help out in the future as they are a wonderful place creating a welcoming community space for all.
