We gathered with a small group just outside of the DLR station in Shadwell. Everyone came from slightly different directions to help Bablu distribute 600 flyers about some exciting youth sports events. Mi even cycled all the way from Bethnal Green!

After Bablu explained a little bit more about the different projects it was time to decide on the direction of our walking. Luckily Isabelle came to rescue as she knows the area really well and in no time we distributes almost all 600 flyers across the borough.

After heavy rain forecasts initially, we were even welcomed by a great sunset! Win win!

On a bright an but cold Saturday afternoon, runners Isabelle, Aidan, Ceiling, Simon, John and myself gathered at Stepney City Farm for session 8 of our Aquatic pond building community mission. This was my first Taskforce as lead – so it was wonderful to be at one of my favourite GG venues with such a pleasant and enthusiastic group – a mixture of familiar and new faces (special shout out to Simon who attended his first GG mission - hope you enjoyed it and will be back for many more.) Advised by our friendly Taskforce owner Alex, our tasks today included spreading aquatic and non-aquatic soil and levelling the area around the pond which we set about with gusto - Alex is impressed by our hard work and what we have achieved so far!
