Only a shorter morning maintenance session today due to the heat, but still a much‑needed weeding job carried out on the flowerbeds. Even a quick tidy makes a noticeable difference to how the area looks.

Thank you to today’s other volunteers for braving the warm weather and keeping things looking tidy.

A gentle reminder to everyone: please don’t use the flowerbeds as litter bins. There are proper bins close by.
