We started the night off with a quick round up of the task ahead, an invite to have pancakes after next week’s run and hello to new runner Steph. After that, we headed outside for a good, old warmup in the drizzle.

Round two *ding ding *

This week we were heading back to Hurlington Academy to help finish off painting one of their sports hall. We had manage to paint half last week and this week we needed to finish off the other half... with half the amount of runners.

That didn’t hold us back

With a prompt start and speedy run there, we got there in good time to get 30mins of solid painting in. Everyone grab a roller, a spot of wall and got started straight away. Ellie sorted the wood work this week with a brush and Jason went up the scaffolding platform to do the tops of the walls.

The walls were completed in no time, so we tidied up and said our final farewells to Ian the business manager and headed back.

A good run out for everyone despite the rain and cold. Lovely stuff.
