5 goodgymers dropped off some items for the food bank today.

We delivered another 2 missions at Raynes Park Station today, assisting the Friends of Raynes Park Station. While a contingent of our finest were 'inducted' into the mysteries of station training, our seasoned veterans got straight to work: shoveling compost and embarking on a bucket relay up to Platform 3's planters.

We were rooting for extra hands post training, and wouldn't you know it, our timing was impeccable. Just as the trainees completed their session, the compost bag was emptied and the final bucket delivered to the awaiting planters.

Thanks to everyone who made it along - we really did prove that many hands make light work and have helped ensure the planters will be completed very soon.

We were one volunteer down (last minute) for the clean-up after another busy food distribution session at Merton’s Community Fridge. And with the warmer weather in full swing, it was a sweaty one, but we cracked through just about every box and crate rolling up our sleeves to get everything back in order. From wiping down surfaces to taking out bins and helping with a much needed extra laundry load (thanks to the heat), we were done and on our way for the next job.

A last minute request for support at Merton's Community Fridge, was a varied session. From or handing out a wide array of items, from biscuits and soft drinks to much needed pet food and washing powder.

Afterwards the challenge of moving 2 crates of sausages from fridge to freezer and repacking kept things cool on a reasonably warm evening.
