Another trip to Growbaby and we set out to complete the tasks on our original list (the last visit used all our resources to pack away the nappies, wipes and food that was kindly donated by Dons Local Action Group). We met up at the Quaker Centre and Emma, Claire, Luke and Dave ran to Growbaby whilst Rachel and Farzeen took a speedy stroll to get to the venue. We met Jana, Julie and Petra there and divided up the tasks.

Claire took her regular position and sorted out the nappy mountain, Emma and Julie took the toys to task and methodically cleared each box discarding the random bits of plastic that had accumulated in the bottom, Luke and Farzeen went through all the baby food and milk making sure that it was unpacked and all in date, Petra and Jana set up the rail displaying warm coats and winter boots ready for collection, and Dave sorted the board games making sure all the pieces were in place.

It was a whirlwind of activity and lots was achieved in the hour we were there. Big shout out to Dave on achieving the most amount of kms in the January Challenge - where on earth will you display your trophy?! And a warm welcome to Farzeen and Luke who are newest joiners - really appreciating your keenness! See you at another task soon.
