5 GG Yorkies gathered to help prepare beneficiary welcome packs for a local charity.

Move Mates is a walking buddy project which pairs up volunteers with people who don't get out of the house due to anxiety, confidence or fear of falling.

Our task was to prep a load of welcome packs to send out to people who use the service.

I've never seen a book of 100 stamps!

Ellie and Ed wrote the address on SAE in their best handwriting whilst Ian and I did complex folding (sometimes in half, and sometimes tri-fold) of the different components.

Babs was on quality assurance, making sure each pack had what it needed and sealing the lacks ready for posting.

In just over an hour, our task was complete!
