On a hot and humid June evening, Peter, Becca, Linda, James and John set off for a jog down to the Cornerstone foodbank. The task was to sort the donated baby clothes into various sizes and do a quality check, so that anything stained or poor quality was discarded. Jenny joined them at the task and they made quick work of sorting multiple bags of donations. John even had time for a quick game of football and the group took a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about their favourite childhood TV shows. The Wombles theme tune may have made an appearance... Task completed, Jenny and Linda decided to walk back to base while having a nice catch-up. The rest of the group jogged back to base or branched off home for a well-deserved dinner. A very satisfying night's work!
