We held a ‘dig-in’ on Tuesday, clearing up the Roxby Close site & getting in 300+ plants in anticipation of A Roxby Close Get Together this Saturday 🎉We had around 40 volunteers helping us - endless thanks to everyone else who gave their time to make this space look fantastic.

This week #LincolnGreeners planted the peas we had sown into pots during our 1st week🌱 We've now planted mangetout, peas, leeks, an array of herbs & pollinators like Borage & Nasturiums. Thank you to the kind Lincoln Green neighbour who shared sweets with us to celebrate Eid!

If you feel the need for some retail therapy, why not visit St Vincent’s. They are open for business and full of hidden gems.

Great film Antonia, really got to me, a gentle film telling a powerful storey. For the record it did pick me up. Thanks 🙏

Fancy a pick me up whilst you're reaching for the end of the week? WATCH, and find out how passionate people are coping, and supporting their community during COVID. Learn how asset based discovery happens in a remote way! youtu.be/HDjx0B3jMlE

What a beautiful film. Building a community always starts with a Carol, the brave sole that’s takes that first step, backed up by a determined Housing Officer in this case. Thank you Highrise Project for telling their story.

Donna is playing prize bingo over the phone with a group of members who can't rarely get out normally so they're feeling the effect of C19 even more. And yes, winners do get an actual prize which will be delivered this afternoon! #FeelGoodFriday #RHEA #LS9 #RichmondHill
