Report written by Tom Mutton
This week we were back up at Heeley People's Park to help Parky Rob with air-rating the grass on the top field before he soed it with grass and sand to keep the birds away and to help with drainage.
We got straight to it after an excellent demo from Rob, shaking and wiggling to make the most of each stab into the grass.
After a good while we downed tools and moved on, stopping via an underpass for some paired work that involved wall sits and hill sprints, always good fun!
Once back at base we stretched off and head home.
Until next time, happy running :)

We have delivered youth, community, environmental and economic development projects in and around our neighbourhood for the last 20 years.

Our projects include; Heeley People's Park, Sum Studios (saving a Grade 2 listed Victorian School and redeveloping as managed work space – this is bringing jobs and investment into our community), The Heeley Voice - a local magazine and Recycle Bikes – a social enterprise supporting disengaged young people to gain training, confidence, work experience and jobs.
