Wow! That was an incredible session at the YMCA in Basingstoke. Tazmin, Charli, Samantha & I went to the YMCA in Basingstoke to assist with some gardning.
The YMCA provides affordable living for 80 young people, however as we learned last night it provides so much more than that. The sense of community and belonging was immediately obvious with 20 residents having already started gardening before we arrived with the vibes high.
After a quick introduction and safety conversation we got into the gardening. And wow did we achieve alot! So many branches were cut, the whole back of the space was cleared, litter was picked and a pathway cleared.
Then the best bit of all, LASAGNA was provided to the residents and our volunteers which was delicous and a nice way to meet more people.
We can't wait to be back here on the 6th of May for our next session.
