Well, following our incredibly successful GCD at Greenworks, which involved clearing the yard of a mountain of pallets; sawing, sanding and constructing planters to go on sale at Leith Festival; painting a shed also to be used at Leith Festival; painting the workshop and planting vegetables and plants, we are now planning the next step! (Excuse the long sentence…)
For lots of us, this Saturday is a big one, with Edinburgh Inter-Faith Association’s version of the World Cup, the Diversity Cup on at World of Football in Edinburgh and two charities, LGBT Youth and Greenworks having stands at Leith Festival. We also have our host home and volunteer placement social on Sunday – a pub quiz which will hopefully bring everyone together for a laugh and to share their experiences of having us around.
The debrief team are running round like headless chickens trying to organise what is proving to be a very busy few days, and everyone else is trying to get things together for our Community Farewell – due to be on the 22nd June so far…. Oh! and, our next CAD is stewarding at the Moonwalk on the weekend of the 18th June.
So basically, if you run into a GX Volunteer anytime soon and they happen to be asleep on a park bench, you’ll know it’s because they’ve simply taken a 5 minute breather from life!
Equally, if you see me asleep on the 37 bus, please wake me up before my stop!
Over and out.
Love Clare
