Back to what happened last night! Corrr! We went off to help one of our favourite tasks - Scope Charity Shop in Camden. Helen and her volunteers are always so grateful for our help, our work has been recognised at a Southern England Scope Managers meeting, hopefully other groups will be able to help other shops in the future - great!

After 1.2k of running we arrived at the shop, Helen soon put us all to work, tasks included:

• Collecting donations outside the shop
• Cleaning the kitchen, toilet, stairways and upstair rooms
• Measuring and labelling trousers
• Sorting out the shoe and accessories section
• Cleaning the shop!
• Hanging, labelling and ironing new donations
• Sorting out the backroom, giving things a tidy

Over 40 minutes we worked really hard and got loads done - amazing! After a group picture we went for a run around Regents Park, with one part of the group heading directly home and the other taking on a 1km time trial.

Good work guys - nice one!
