We gathered outside Glass Mill this evening not wanting to get to used to the warmth inside, well that was my reasoning when I arrived first. Before we set off to RUSS, we had a moment to celebrate our achievements in the January Challenge!!

Alicia and I, set off first and nearly beat the rest of the group to the task. Steve very kindly putting the group through their paces with a warm up and run to the task.

We arrived at the task and soon found Ollie who was in charge of giving us our instructions for the evening. It a good old fashioned GG task of digging and moving the soil. The area we started before Christmas is nearly complete so it was time for us to move onto a new area of the garden. Post-task we were treated to tea and biscuits before we set off back to Glass Mill.

It was great to have Alicia along for her first group run and following on from a very muddy community mission in Blythe Hill Fields. We hope to see you again soon!

Next week, we are heading over to Senior's! Don't forget to sign up, it's an indoor task.

RUSS Community Housing
A new community-led co-housing development in Lewisham

RUSS is a volunteer-led Community Land Trust based in south London, founded in 2009 with the mission of creating sustainable neighbourhoods and genuinely affordable homes. We aim to bring together people and nature to build a more mutually beneficial world. RUSS is building 36 new flats at 12 Church Grove in Ladywell which are aiming to be low-carbon, and will be a mix of flats for sale, shared ownership, and social and affordable rent. Future residents and volunteers have been involved in the construction process since January 2023, and others will join to help build bike and bin stores, finish off flats and communal areas, and plant and look after the gardens. https://www.theruss.org/
