Sheltered Housing - Ashdown Crescent:

Frances led a team of 8 people to help Sheltered Housing up in Kentish Town. This is a fantastic charity that helps care for older people. The 50+ residents use the garden regularly during the day so our help in very valuable.

The group completed a 7km run overall, helped plant some winter plants/bulbs and sweeping up leaves and debris.

Double Tasking, Double Good

Cecil Sharp House:

The rest of us headed to Cecil Sharp House, the home of English Folk Song and Dance. We split into three teams:

• Gravel Team emptied 10 bags of gravel along the edge of the front garden/driveway.
• A team collected up the last of the leaves around the car park and backgarden.
• Another group collected stigs, branches and twigs up from the back garden lawn.

Once team gravel was done they helped everyone else collect up leaves, weed and move bags of leaves to either Susannah's car or the coincidental recycling truck that arrived.

After a group photo we headed to Primrose Hill for some shuttle runs and calf raises before heading home to the pub.

Sign up for next week here when we'll be making beds for the homeless!

Cheers PB out
