Tower Hamlets Report written by John Shirley
If darkness hadn't quite fallen by the time we arrived at Sivill House, it was certainly teetering over the edge. There was some illumination from the estate lights, and people brought head torches, but our main concern was the effect of the gloomy conditions on those all-important task photos!
Task owner and GoodGymer Ed directed us to a very large pile of woodchip which had been donated to Columbia TRA. It was happily sitting in the car park, but it really needed to be in the gardens, the other side of the estate. It didnโt look too large a pile, until we realised how far back it wentโฆ
Still, we had five wheelbarrows, plenty of shovels and bags, and most importantly a 17-strong squad of GoodGymers. It felt like a real workout as we persuaded the reluctant woodchip to separate from the security of its pile, to a new life โ mulching! This technique suppresses weeds, conserves soil moisture, insulates plant roots and improves soil health and fertility. Yes, weโve enabled all those things!
A special welcome to newcomers Angelique and Ryan, who really threw themselves into the task. Hope to see you back soon! And thanks to Fiona who took some good photos after all!
Despite the darkness, the night was still young as we headed off, with a suggestion that one of the task owners had invited us to the pub. We didnโt know where we were supposed to go, so after wandering around for a bit, four of us headed for the Royal Oak to congratulate ourselves on all our good work

There was a really good turn out and all amazing people....
The weather was good and I think it's fair to say everyone put in an awesome amount of effort and had a really good day.
There is an amazing feeling of well-being when such a great bunch of people come together for a good cause.
