With another storm on the way it felt good to get the third and final leaflet drop (letter)boxed off while it's still dry!

We met at Ilford Road and got straight to work, Charlotte and me and Liz and Aimee pairing up to work up and down the streets and meet in the middle. With 600 leaflets distributed across this triple task, we have got quite skilled on how best to make it work. The only thing we haven't nailed is how to do it without feeling like frostbite will take all your fingers, and again I ended up with very painful hands by the end. Lots of pretty Christmas lights helped the pain!

It's been really satisfying to do this task across three areas and know we have helped St Oswalds to spread the word of their Light up a Life campaign with just a week to go.

Well done to all who got involved!
