I joined Jonny running from Sutton Park to Erdington high street in order to help out at the Scope charity shop. With our litter pickers still in hand, we were sent out at first to give the back yard a tidy. I picked up the rubbish while Jonny cut down the weeds. We went back inside to help some more. We were then set up to help rearrange the bags of donations. We got our steps in for the week as the shop has three floors. We began by moving some bags being stored in a second floor office into the hallway. Then we brought bags of winter clothes from the top floor to the ground floor and any we couldn’t fit down there went down to the office we had cleared. We left to great thanks and made arrangements to return. I picked up a raffle ticket and bought some clothes before I went home as well to give a charitable boost to the charity and my wardrobe.
