A good turnout tonight, especially considering that we changed our start day to Thursday for this task. Our first task with the wonderful new community centre for EYST supporting Ethinic Minority communities in Cardiff to provide vital support, resources and services to those who need it most.

We met at our usual start location of The Glassworks, where we split into our two groups.

  • Group 1 the walkie talkers, they were taking a more direct route of about 20 minutes walking.
  • Group 2 the joyful joggers, out on a longer distance to get up to that 5km total run (with both runs there and back).

Once both groups arrived, it was time to see this new task and meet the organiser.

Croeso Fateha

The original task was to clear the outside space for them, but this had already been completed by one of their eager volunteers. So instead, we were clearing some planters, sorting out their green waste bin and cutting back an overgrown large bush.

We had volunteers emptying the green bin into bags, it had been used for cardboard and plastic. Other volunteers were then filling the green bin with the green waste from the planters, leaving them ready to be planted up by the girls group in the community centre later on. And the final group were on the bush, chopping down the branches as much as possible.

It was soon time to leave, with some music playing on our running speaker. Hopefully we will be back soon for a painting task, so watch this space.

Join us next week, when we return to our usual Tuesday sessions for a pancake day run to Cwtch Together with optional eating afterwards...Sign Up required --------> HERE
