it was our first visit to a brand new task last night- at the amazing Abbey community centre. This community hub in the middle of Victoria offers support, meals, advice and classes to everybody in the local area from babies to the elderly. It was established in 1948 and works with local organisations that share ethics, values and pa assion for social justice. As we walked through the busy,happy building we had a glimpse of the activities happening to improve the heath and wellbeing of vulnerable residents by promoting community and togetherness.

We were led through the huge maze like building - interestingly it used to be a Victorian bathhouse - to find the hidden gem of a therapy garden. Our job for the evening was to plant 11 big terracotta pots full of spring flowers, including iris, tulips and hyacinths. It was a very soothing task enhanced by the music from the dance class happening in the room right by us. We watered them all in - and cant wait to see how they brighten up the area come spring! We'll be back at the centre next month for our regular visit to work in the garden.

Next week we're back to the oldest youth club in the world - hope to see you there!

After a summer of hard work at the GoodGym garden it was time to reap the rewards! We have been carefully maintaining the space at the back of the Omnibus theatre for over a year now, planting, weeding, sowing and digging whenever we had the opportunity. The idea is that we grow fresh, organic fruit and vegetables to donate to the Trinity hospice just a few doors up the road. Last night we went to harvest what we had produced - and I think we surprised ourselves!

We gathered at the BAC for our warm up and for the weekly brain teaser. This week is was Adrian who nailed the answer to the question - which is the longest tube line? At 46 miles long, and founded in 1900, it was the central line. Good knowledge!

We took a nice run up to the garden in the fading light, and wasted no time getting our hands dirty. First up was the chard, the biggest success of the season. It was leafy, green and very prolific, and Sophie and Adrian got a whole crate of it! The beans had also done really well, with Kamil harvesting a big tub. There were a few tomatoes, and lovely zucchini flowers, and the fig and pear tree were flourishing. Well done team!

There was time to fit in a good core session across the road, and Jordan even requested a squat challenge finisher which was the perfect way to end! With our crates of goodies, we walked up to the hospice and dropped off the produce for the chef there to use. It's great to see that all that investment in the garden resulted in something really positive.

Next week we're back at Doddington for our monthly session at the community garden followed by the pub quiz. Hope to see you there!

If you're up for a post work task in central London tonight, why not join us at this bulb planting session at a community centre in Victoria - we're looking for a few more pairs of helping hands!
