Adam, Joao and Sam met outside St. Faith's Community Centre to be welcomed by Gerraint and Sheila who were the volunteers of GROAD.

We immediately had a person dropping off girls clothes and toys, which we sorted, but by the end of the session we decided it would be best if these items were taken to a charity shop. Annabel and her partner came soon after and they offered to take this to a charity shop after the session.

A good hour passed without another donation being dropped off, but we used the time to sort out the old donations and make a few bags after finding trousers.

With 25 minutes left of the sessions, 3-4 drop offs came in one after the other. With some drop offs, we could immediately make more bags for the homeless, but with others we realised we could not take them. These donations became part of a pile that Annabel and her partner would take away.
