This morning Jonny helped out at the Glovers Trust.
It was a beutiful sunny morning, so armed with a bin bag and a wheelbarrow the task was to clear debrie in the form of twigs etc and a bit of a litter pick.
The green area lends itself to wildlife, with one of the residents telling me there was a fox den in the bushes. What i did find wildlife wise was a dead rat! Hopefully his name wasn't Roland!

GoodGym Sutton Coldfield helped out at Chester Road Baptist Church.
The task was weeding the car park and we did a great job (see the before and after pics!).
We spent a good hour weeding followed by a nice catch up after over a drink and home in time for lunch :)

On a sunny lunchtime Jonny and Jo went down to our adopted area of Birmingham Road to do a litter pick.
We quite quickly saw an area by a bus stop which was full of litter, but we gave it a good pick (see the before and after photos) it's amazing what you can fit into a quick 30 minute lunch break session :)

Yesterday Jonny and Jo helped out at the Glovers Trust.
The task was clearing debri from the gardens and with it being such a lovely sunny day it was nice not to need gloves on for once!

This morning Jonny joined the Friends of New Hall Country Park.
Jonny biked the 5k to the task and the session was mainly planting tiny trees around the perimeter of part of the park. These trees were really small, so all that was needed was a slit made with a spade for them to be slipped in, then use your heel to push the earth back to the tree so that it stays upright. Soon enough we'll see some green shoots from them :)
Once finished Jonny biked the 5k back home again. This is a monthly Community Mission and the next one is Sunday March 16th.

This morning Jonny helped out at the Cancer Research charity shop in Sutton Coldfield town centre.
The task was to help out on the till. Plenty of scanning, cashing and bagging up. Jonny then ran the 2.5 miles home after the task.
