We were back at one of our favourite place in Basingstoke this week!

The Dwelling Place is a amazing space providing secure longterm housing for 5 previously homeless people.

This was our second session there, the first session was a complete clear out of the back garden and with that and other work since the space has completely transformed into a blank slate.

Last nights session was the beginning of the rebuilding. We did a lot of carrying from tiles, wooden sleepers to half a tonne of sand. We finished this by laying out some of the sand in preparation for the tiles to go down.

All in all it was a good workout and very satisfying seeing everything that has transformed.

Wow! I'm blown away by how much can be achieved in just over an hour! Led by Charlotte and Suzi from the Dwelling place we cleared so much of the garden space preparing it for the next step in its transformation.

This meant cutting down and removing a trees and bushes, completely clearing a tonne of ivy, moving all the rocks and pavement slabs and creating a giant pile of cleared out garden waste.

I'm incredibly proud of the team for how much effort they put in and how much we achieved and also thankful to the Dwelling Place for how welcoming they were.

For this session we met as usual at the Basingstoke Sports & Social Club before we split into 2 groups with Sammi, Yazid jogging and Tazmin, Yeun & Evelyn walked to the Dwelling place where Charli & Samantha met us.
