A late leadership change due to Brahma being on good husband duties meant Kev taking the lead....well I nominated him once we arrived at the Crisis Warehouse

It was great to have Hugh Jeans join us big thanks to Amy and Olivia for letting us have for the evening.

Office furniture moving was the task for this evening.....the moving part was the easiest working out the best position for the desk and getting some units up the stairs was slightly trickier but we got there in the end after a couple of false starts

Helen was our expert with the wheeled trolly ensuring smooth movement of the items.

Simon and Dan did and awesome job with traversing the cupboards up the stairs.

Ruth Hils and Eugene did a brilliant job balancing the desk while Kevin screwed it back together.

With a final full team effort the last of the donated furniture was placed in the call centre ready for the Crisis at Christmas volunteers who will be working here over the next few weeks.

Mission complete we headed of into the now cold night promising Richard we would return in 2022 to dismantle it all again ready for the warehouse to be refurbished.
