The food cupboard was tidied and the shopping list completed while the main area was cleared and swept ready for next time. Done and dusted. 🧹🧽 ✅

17 crates were made up today at All Saint's Food Bank with minimal staff and a few manoeuvres into different roles. Rob worked with one of the volunteers in the toiletries cupboard while I made up the crates, Lucy did the weigh in, Fiona the front desk, and Pat in the kitchen and serving tea and coffee. Demand and supply seemed to work out pretty well with a couple of last minute customers at the end.

Jane and I continue to pick the usual suspects of litter dropped at Bransbury Park, making a small difference every month! Good to get out at lunchtime to stretch our legs and make a difference in the community!

Today the weather was perfect for a spot of weeding. Clearing the ground for new planting and growth, it was very satisfying for us all to see the ground cleared and the buckets filled. Ivy, sticky buds (our school days name for it!) and grasses springing up amongst the plants, we got it all amongst the beds we were working on. With the beautiful smell of the roses wafting over and a warm breeze, it was very pleasant work. We finished with a cuppa, some biscuits and a good old natter before heading off.
