Wandsworth Report written by Sophie Humphrey
It definitely felt like a warmer Monday night in Wandsworth which was much appreciated. We marked the end of the Winter Olympics by discussing the events that we would love to magically become good at with some brave souls going for everything from skiing moguls to big air! Figure skating was another big hit but curling (a much safer choice you would think) sadly didn’t feature.
We were off to salvage what we could from the Goodgym garden to share with the wider Wandsworth community. A lot of effort went into digging up our prized trees and we got them out and ready for a new home (huge thanks to Jordan and his chariot with glamorous assistant Felix!). It was great to see how resourceful we can be as a group with people finding makeshift plant pots en route (well done Catherine) and repurposing compost bags to transport our beloved plants! We managed to harvest a few potatoes, gather some chard and also took some of our rosemary.
We finished up with a fitness session spelling out Clapham with different exercises (with a little sprinkle of creativity on the As - future exercise suggestions very welcome there!). A fond farewell to our little garden with a lot of love put in over the years - well done all for what we achieved there! Bonus spot was a huge furry cat who didn't want to miss out on saying goodbye. Look forward to giving our plants and tools a new home soon!

Wandsworth Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)
We had a flipping great time in Wandsworth last night as we enjoyed pancake day, birthdays - and a whole lot of positive impact!
There was lots of good news to share, including these two upcoming missions:
at a local nature reserve on Saturday where you will be creating safe access, building 'dead hedges' and log pile habitats which provides refuge for important wildlife species such as hedgehogs
and prepping or delivering food on Sunday so that our most vulnerable people get a hot meal
Not only was it almost pancake day and a sweet social to look forward to, but it was also Jo's birthday - so there was plenty to celebrate. After our warm we each guessed how many pancakes are eaten across the UK today, with Ali's guess coming closest to the whopping 117 million total!
We set off for our task at Larkhall Park where after a bit of confusion about our meeting spot we met Theresa with tools and instructions. Our job for the evening was to weed an area so it can be planted up with hundreds of new plants, and to clear the troublesome bamboo - which was more stubborn than we anticipated.
After half an hour of solid effort we had made a big difference, and we just had time to squeeze in fitness session based on isometric holds to improve our strength and stability.
A quick run back to base and it was pancake time! Great work everybody. Sophie will be leading you in a session at the GoodGym garden next week, so why not sign up to start the week off right!
