Report written by John Shirley
We returned to one of our favourite venues, Cranbrook Community Centre, to assist Janet and her team once again. We knew the garden edges needed tidying - there was a lot of green clutter - but what to remove and what to leave? The wisdom of the crowd won through, with a little help from Janet.
Once again we didn't take a "before" picture, but we all remembered how messy it was before we arrived, and noted how smart it looked at the end, after a vigorous, energetic hour by our fabulous fifteen.
A special welcome to Danya, veteran of GoodGym Richmond who's moved to East London and was keen to carry on the good work at Tower Hamlets.
Thanks Emma for the heading, and for taking some of the pictures (and Janet for the group picture). Also Chris for leading the pre-task run.
We all missed Laura, but she'll be back next week!
Tucked behind Roman Road, this vibrant Community Centre is a lively hub of connection, creativity, and care. Run by two longstanding local residents, the centre is a welcoming environment for all, offering a wide range of free-to-access events and activities that help to bring people together from all walks of life. From music and parties to fitness classes and prayer groups, there's something for everyone. With a strong focus on inclusion and affordability, the centre also provides low-cost hall hire to support local groups and initiatives. This is more than just a building - Cranbrook is a place where community grows.
