It was great to see so many of you come out on a wet Wednesday evening! We had the muddiest run of winter so far as we made our way to Meanwood Valley Farm. We were split into 3 groups, one group to do compost turning (it always surprises me how up for this job everyone is), another group were moving pallets & the third group were cleaning the walls & windows in the greenhouse.

The phrase 'boys and their toys' came to mind when Adam got hold of the pressure washer! He was enjoying it so much we were worried he might flood the place :)

We always love visiting the animals at the farm & we found out the donkey's names...Reggie, Benny & Alfie (if I remember correctly)?! A kidnap plot is being hatched...

Well done to Rachel, tonight was her 90th good deed!

Another great night, thanks everyone!

Tonight Helen led a run from Heart up to Coffee on The Crescent, where we'd promised the owner that we'd litter pick in the local area when we helped him on Saturday.

I met the group there with bags & pickers & we got to task picking the lots & lots of litter around the area. We filled a whopping 14 bags full, not bad for 55 minutes. It just shows what a huge impact our team can have in a short period of time. Jason won the prize for most interesting find, a pair of boots!

Coffee on the Crescent gave us free coffee vouchers for the team which were much appreciated!

Welcome to Sreenu who joined us for the first time tonight, it's great to have you on board.

Tonight, Helen took us on a muddy run to Bedford Fields where we met Beth who fed us mince pies & mulled wine which went down very well! Thanks Beth :)

We then got to work decorating the roundhouse with Holly,Ivy & other foliage. We got into pairs & had a competition to see who's was best but Beth was very diplomatic and said all were good which didn't satisfy my competitive spirit!

It was a lovely evening doing Christmas crafts & a great session to finish off the year.

Thanks for a great year all & Merry Christmas!

Tonight we had a dark, muddy run along the ridge to head to Meanwood Valley Farm for the last time this year.

We faced the cold and rain at the farm whilst weeding, hoeing, digging and moving compost.

We got loads done in 50 minutes & Andy at the farm rewarded us with some kale, garlic, apples, fennel and more!

We've loved our tasks at the farm this year and will be back for more in 2026.

Great work everyone!

Seeing as though two of our members were in shorts tonight, we'll do well to remember that in future!! It was a freezing night & even though Lydia had 7 layers on, she still looked absolutely freezing! I hope everyone managed to warm up.

We ran across the ridge tonight & met Beth at The Chemic Tavern and litter picked around the area. When we could no longer feel our fingers and toes, we headed back.

Well done for coming out in this weather guys. Stay warm :)
