It’s been a while but we’re back!
Well, how to sum up the last month in a concise way? We’ve moved office to an actual building made of bricks which those of you familiar with our old office will know is to be very welcomed. I will publish our new contact details separately.
Project wise, the big news is we’ve finished Newhaven Church! 18 days of hard work have really paid off and it looks amazing and the Church are overjoyed with their new deck. Everyone involved should be very proud of the work that we’ve done, it’s a testament to what volunteers can achieve! Check out the photos to see the finished article!
We’ve also been building some more jigsaw shape raised beds (last seen at Gardening Scotland 08) for Strathesk Primary School in Penicuik, erecting a greenhouse and shed for the Orchard Clinic at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital and pulling up Himalayan Balsam with the Countryside Ranger Service.
On the Volunteer Officer front it’s been all change again as Alaitz has returned to Spain and Ianire has arrived to take up her 4 month post with us. We’ve also been joined by Vicks and soon David will return from his month away in Slovenia. Alan is dipping his toe in the water of being a VO to see how it suits him. It’s great to have a team of good VOs working with me to make our projects run better and make sure I don’t forget anything!
We’ll be back to regular postings from now on, so keep an eye on us!
