A special task tonight, and we were going to make use of the pleasant weather with an outside task. We were heading to the Church of Saint Edward, home to the Forget me not club that we help.

A lovely 14 of us were jumping to help out, the job to clear, clean and prune ready for a special service later in the week. Some ran, some jog walked, some cycled too. And straight to work we got, all bushes and trees overhanging the fences were put back in check, and the biggest trial of the night was the buddleia.

But we are always prepared us goodgymer prune-ies

After a little longer than 30 minutes we were done and it was time to head back to the city.


This task supported
Forget-me-not Cafe and gardening club
Cafe open for 2 hours a week [but grounds always open] for people living with dementia and their cares, people recovering from stroke, those who are at risk of becoming isolated or lonely

We provide a safe, friendly space for people to meet, have musical entertainment, play table tennis, play draughts, chat, colour, do some art and now wish to extend to provide gardening as therapy. To the latter end we need to clear out a cellar of various bits of rubbish and make it into a storeroom for pots, gardening equipment etc.
