Five of the team joined a fantastic session at Mitcham Orchard today, getting stuck into a variety of tasks!
We tackled two main jobs: Matthieu and Martina (welcome and well done on your first task) skillfully worked on covering the greenhouse, ensuring it's ready for whatever the weather brings. Meanwhile, Jade and Rhian teamed up with Clare to get some serious planting done, getting pumpkin and squash plants into the ground. They also did a great job clearing fallen plums, setting them aside for pickling!
A debit visit for three of the team and a little bonus job - cherry picking. Yum! Great work by everyone involved, making a real difference in this beautiful orchard.

Plenty of good vibes at Merton's Community Fridge for the clean-up session today as we took it slow and a little chilled despite the heat! We got off to a great start, working through cleaning various boxes while the distribution team was still wrapping up. We even found time to rinse out the food containers. Then extra hands arrived to help with the various rubbish and recycling piles, not to mention the numerous crates. Everything was sparkling clean and properly tidied and even refilled, ready for the next round!

The team had a productive session tidying up at Squirrels today! Kicking things off with a real test of strength, with a very large roll of paper that needed shifting in the van - the perfect warm up! We then got stuck into some serious tidying with trimming a tree and clearing weeds and moss, leaving the area looking much neater. Great work, everyone, it's always brilliant when we make a visible difference!

Over a cuppa and some delicious cake, some fantastic new contacts were made whilst spreading the word about our Missions with DBS-checked volunteers now ready to support individuals aged 50+ with practical tasks across Merton.
Bring on the lunchtime dog walks and errands.

Merton Report written by Mathieu Van Der Haegen
It was a bit chaotic and disorganised but we did a lot of different stuff and helped where we could. We could also enjoy visiting the festival at the end so I'm very happy with my first mission !

Our regular visits helping with the post distribution clean-up are making a difference week by week. Today was a perfectly warm evening, ideal for getting an extra pair of hands along (thank you Steve!) after work to help. Peter and Rhian were also there following the distribution to help with sorting the crates outside, giving the fridges a proper clean, and cleaning/tidying boxes. Once hoovered we made sure everything was back in it's place ready for the next distribution.
There was just time for Steve to firm up details for helping at a distribution session later this month - and we are back for the group session on Wednesday 25th June to deep clean the storage area and help remove a partition wall, so sign up and get involved if you can: Https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/help-with-deep-cleaning-at-merton-s-community-fridge
