Hammersmith and Fulham Report written by Ariane Dean
Another busy Thursday set up for Hammersmith Food Bank. Mark and Ariane finished setting up tables and crates. Once the delivery van arrived, Mark made quick work of bringing in the new boxes of food, while Ariane chopped and bagged up loaves of bread. Having had a couple of weeks practice, everything was ready to go within half an hour, leaving time for a coffee and a natter with the food bank volunteers!

Hounslow Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)
We had perfect conditions for our return visit to Chiswick House last night, which was good news as we had a huge job to do!
The carriageway into the grounds is lined with beautiful plane trees. Fun fact - did you know London Planes can grow to 35 metres and live for several hundred years? Which means they need a bit of care and attention.
We were met with Chris, Chiswick House's gardener, who explained the job was to cut away the shoots from the trees' trunks. Or epicormic growth, if we're being fancy!
We cleared away the clippings and then got to work giving the trees a good pruning, able assisted by Chiswick House's excellent range of dog visitors.
There were some excellent techniques getting as much as humanely possible into the ton bags, and some very professional lopping on display too. Great work everybody!
Next week we're back to do one of our favourite tasks - washing the Turnham Green mural. Fingers crossed the weather is kind to us...
