We rolled up our sleeves at Surrey Docks Farm to turn food scraps into future soil. Through hands-on composting, we learned how waste can be transformed into something valuable, supporting the farm’s gardens while helping the planet—one peel and pile at a time.

And of course we got to feed some animals at the end of the session including lovely Oreo and Penguin cows!

Anna, Maria, Olive, Paulin and Sam helped out at Peckham Rye Juniors parkrun as 105 kids came out to run the 2k course with a chilling wind cutting through. Still it was a sunny day and we had plenty of smiles and high-fives from everyone.

Perfectly manicured garden.

Today I joined a team of volunteers unload, unpack and replenish stocks at Borough food pantry. It was an enjoyable 2 hour session from 10.30am to 12.30pm

On a cold and dark evening, 4 Good Gymmers arrived to return the farm to normal operations following the day’s Christmas festivities. We developed an efficient system for taking down gazebos, carrying tables to the local church hall and dismantling an extremely large marquee. After all that effort, there was just enough time for a cup of warm mulled apple juice before heading out into the December night.

It's been a while since I last saw Folarin, so it was a pleasure to see him after many months. Of course, we helped SE5 Forum setup their stall from 09:30 - 10:00. We put up the gazebo, tables and displays.
