We hit the ground to support Merton Council's White Ribbon Walk in Morden Hall Park today.

Starting with a stroll from the Civic Centre to the meeting point to join with others and earn some steps, it also gave us the opportunity to meet new and familiar faces whilst raising awareness for the White Ribbon campaign.

Huge thanks to Merton Council for inviting us to support this important event. Every step counts towards ending male violence against women.

Last night we tackled a mission at South Mitcham Community Association, to clear a large garden bed and prepare it for planting. With spotlights and all the right tools for the job we were in for a real treat as the rain held off and we got busy unearthing lots of weeds and roots, filling many bags, and salvaging a few potatoes! 🥔

With the bed cleared in just 30 minutes, the team took the initiative and set about tackling the rest of the garden area, then tidied up and went on our way. 

Most of us joined the group run back to base via the beautiful River Wandle. While it will undoubtedly be a stunning path in the spring and summer daylight, running it as a group at night provided an excellent fitness boost.

A big welcome to Ivo, on your first Merton task, and we hope to see you again soon. Well done team, we totally aced those spuds!

Those who joined us at our last visit to Critical Support will remember the organised chaos of a multi-bank delivery, and this time was no different! We threw ourselves into sorting through the wall of crates, making sure everything was collated and ready for distribution. It's always fun to sift through random items and definitely one of our favourite tasks.

We also started on the wrapping of Christmas presents! Working diligently to prepare as many gifts as possible, although we will be back next month to do more of this.

A huge congratulations to Becca who completed her first session! We hope this is the first of many more missions with us.
