Our penultimate task of 2021 and one of the best! We visited St Matthew's House to help St Matthew's Big Local get prepped for their children's Christmas party doing the elves' job for the evening, wrapping all the presents!

It was lovely to see Jimmy return after getting a pass out from grandad duty for the evening. The runners ran across down in an unusual manner this evening, armed with a carrier bag each making running a fiddlier task. We were donating some unneeded men's shoes for Afghan refugees in Leicestershire, an extra good deed for the evening aside from the main event!

To the wrapping, Christmas playlist on we split up the jobs, paper cutting, sellotape prepping and wrapping and set to work. Some fantastic teamwork, some questionable singing along to the Christmas hits and we wrapped up the task just before 7pm in perfect time to enjoy the mince pies and chocolates left for us as a thank you!

A run back past the clock tower to see the lights in the city centre and we had another good deed in the bag, cracking work everyone!

Next week we're out and about with Santa and his sleigh, come and join us for one more slice of goodness before we break for Christmas!
