6 runners headed over to the YMCA to help clear out an old office space.

The YMCA Barnsley are in the process of clearing an office to make room for a new community group joining the premises, and we were happy to help.

What we thought was just a small job of a few planks of wood in one room, turned into a great skip-filling endeavour, not just rubble but a whole host of hidden treasures. The space at one point was used by the community radio, and we came across: old log books of radio call-ins, knitted figures, homemade CDs, old school video tapes and even a Christmas tree.

We had a good throwback to 90s and early 00s video games and TV shows. Member Jason even took a few items of memorabilia to donate to the Barnsley Museums.

We managed to fill an entire skip and were all delighted to get the whole space done in the time we had. Great work team! 💪
