Leaf it to the experts

Another rainy and windy day in Bournemouth was brightened by 8 wonderful souls this evening. On the menu were two tasks in one group run, so we had to be at our best. It was our first time being called in to help out at Shelter Bournemouth, who do so much for the community here, and they kept us busy which was great. After meeting Kate, who let us know what needed doing, the team split up into groups and got going.

Dan, Grace and Lee grabbed buckets and brooms and headed to the front of the offices to clean the ramp and left it spotless. Daryl and Caprice headed to the back and ripped out all the weeds in their staff parking area and left if looking pristine. Daniela and Abi were indoors cleaning windows and wiping down chairs and left everything smelling and looking fantastic!

Then we all headed downstairs and moved some unwanted furniture around and tidied up an area so they could turn in into a winter wonderland for the homeless families they will be looking after this Christmas.

And after all that was done, we still had 45 minutes to run around the neighbourhood...down some dark alleys...up some roads we had never seen to distrubute some leaflets for Autism Wessex, to spread the word about their Christmas Carol service they are holding at Christchurch Priory on the 4th December at 7pm. All for charity, so if you are free please head down and support them.

With the rain holding off all evening for us, and getting back to Flirt in time for Lee and Dan to get their bags before they closed...we felt very lucky and possibly some of the good vibes from our good deeds were coming back to us straight away.

Or maybe it was because Daniela had received her GoodGym shirt....oooorrrr because Caprice was wearing her wings for the first time!!??!

Well done all of you for coming out and doing a double task. See you all next week for our visit to the Foodbank. Sign up here
