A change of day also meant new start point and a change of borough!!!!

The call went out from Care4Calais for help with sorting a new intake of donations prior to be distribution to refugees who have recently arrived in the UK.

We met at Mile End station and it was lovely to see Lil who joined us for her first group run after joining us for several community missions in 2020.

Hilary led the way as she took the bike option for this evening,a nice gentle run along the Mile End road.

We arrived at the storage area which is adjacent to the East London Mosque.

A large area has been set aside for sorting the new donations into children,women and men.....they will be further sorted into age groups and boxed up ready for distribution.
