There’s nothing like a brisk morning mission to prove you don't need a gym membership when there’s a church hall to clear. Packing away after the night shelter at Martin Way methodist church and prepping the space for its next community use involved plenty of lifting and shifting, hauling and stacking chairs. There was even time to get Henry (the vacuum) out for a spin - strangely therapeutic!
