On Tuesday we welcomed Salem to his first of many sessions with us, he used to run but family life and children activities got the better of him. He is looking to get back into running and came across an ad for us and liked the idea of combining his runs with doing good.

Another highlight for us was having **Kate joining us on the task, having completed 26.2 miles on Sunday she was unable to jog to the task with us, she also brought her medal to show us, we congratulated her on her amazing achievement in completing her first marathon

We ran to Croydon Refugee Day Centre to assist them with their clothes donations, Simon was there to greet us and while we were waiting on the building to be opened he jumped at the opportunity to lead us in a fitness session. Following our fitness session we went inside the hall where there was clothes clothes for us to sort and hung. Myself Salem and Bassey were on hanger duty where we went around and collected all the empty hangers from the clothing rails, while Kate and Ingrid sorted the clothes to be hung on the rails. We were midway through sorting out the clothes, when Simon came in with treats treats for us.

Before long it was time to store away the clothing rails into the storage room and bid our farewell to Simon.

Last night we welcomed Oliver to his first group run, he found out about us via instagram. We had a task all booked and set to go ahead at the Refugee centre, hover due to some issues with the locks being changed we were unable to gain access and complete the planned task. Visit Oliver's page and give him some cheer.

All was not lost as Simon our host was on had to put the group through their paces with a fitness session, he had us doing lunges, wall sits, press ups against the railing and squats.

Simon appologised for not being able to get us into the building, but he seemed to have a good time putting us through our paces.

On our next visit, I'm planning on getting Simon to do our fitness session.

It was a dark, autumnal Tuesday evening, but this didn't scare the team away, with 11 wonderful people joining to complete the autumnal clean of the boulevard this evening. Unfortunately, Conroy was unwell, so Liz lead the way.

A warm welcome to Tomi, who joined the team today and welcome back to Bassey and Kemo for their second session!!

Also, a shout-out for Magda, who completed her 200th good deed today! AMAZING!!

The team promptly set-off to collect the tools, to allow as much time for the task as possible. The team collected litter, swept leaves and cut over-grown brambles.

The team worked hard and filled a grand total of 38 bags of waste!!

Well done team!!
