A lovely event run by our friends at Refugee Action Kingston to help refugees move on and feel part of their community.

Well done Rachel and what a great cause. I must get to a Kingston session, particularly if you have one on a Wednesday when I often work in Kingston.

A new challenge this Tuesday at The Malden Centre near Jubilee Square as we helped Emma to help set up a food hub for Kingston Voluntary Action.
It's going to be a fantastic venue and the kitchen rooms just needed a good clean, which Anna, Emily, Levita and Rachel got going with.
Meanwhile Dave, Marcos and Tom got sweeping, removing lots of leaves and litter outside their enormous refrigerated shipping container, which is for storing the food and was perfect for one of our weirdest team photos ever.
A nice fun task, even including free biscuits!

What an absolute scorcher! Nothing like spending a hot sunny day under the plastic wrapping of gazebos. The scout fair is tomorrow so we put up the gazebos, moved equipment around and labelled up the raffle prizes. Hot, sweaty work but very satisfying.

At Canbury Community Gardens...
A warm welcome to Levita and Caro who joined us at Canbury Community Garden for their first mission. Our tasks included stocking up the water containers with river water ahead of what will be another hot weekend, clearing the overgrown garden paths ready to welcome a local group and harvesting 1.6 kg of baby new potatoes.
Whilst some cutting tools are in need of sharpening to ease clipping long grass and nettles, one of the pruning tools turned out to be quite the opposite! To close the mission head gardener Marilyn offered the team a few 2025 garlic heads and baby potatoes, what a treat 🥔🥔
At the GoodGym plot...
Back at the GoodGym flowerbed a team of Dave, Levita, Sabir and Claire got to work.
Levita and Dave did 3 runs to the river for water to feed the plants whilst Claire cleared the rubbish and leaves and tried to revive some heather’s that had caught the sun.
Then Sabir joined to help fill about 7 wheelbarrows with woodchip to keep the flowerbeds well mulched. With the woodchip spread and the plants fed and watered it was time to leave them to grow. 🌱
Welcome to Levita and Caro and congratulations on completing your on first good deed.
