Here's what Mrs M of SE23 had to say about the mission:

Well delighted, can't thank you enough!

Mrs M of SE23, mission beneficiary

Monica and I met this morning to clear up Mrs M's garden. We were shown in by her son who set us up with all the tools we would need.

The garden was in a pretty good state, with just a bit of grass cutting and weeding needed. I got to work with the lawnmower and Monica got stuck into a particularly weedy corner.

By the time the rain started we had achieved a lot; the lawn was mowed, the flowerbeds were weed free and we had revealed some stepping stones across the garden.

Mrs M was incredibly grateful and saw us off with a smile and some kind words.
