11 lovely folk from Lambeth and beyond sacrificed a Saturday morning lie-in (some of us having already done Brockwell parkrun together) to help the Lambeth GP Food Co-op at the rehabilitation centre. We met the lovely Ed just down the road from the Lambeth GG base at Papa's, where we were shovelling soil into big planters that the patients will be growing vegetables in. Ed explained that the idea is that these home-grown veg will then be used in the hospital for the patients' meals, which we all thought was lovely and a great plan.

We promptly got into a system, splitting into teams for shovelling, wheelbarrowing (including some wheelbarrow time trials!) and unloading at the other end. We quickly filled the four huge planters and then just needed to put all the leftover soil into one big bag before we left.

This task was Paul's 50th good deed so he's very excited to get his black t-shirt. It's also part of Charlotte's race to 50, and the first of her three good deeds for the day. Other people were also going on to more missions later today so once we'd shovelled all the soil and tidied up after ourselves, we took a quick group snap and said goodbye to Ed who's promised to tweet once the planters are in use so we can see the results!

Thanks team, that definitely felt like a very satisfying way to spend a Saturday morning :)
