We welcomed new runner Keeleigh Scriven to tonight run, thanks for coming Keeleigh!

This week we were back off to the Picture House Social to do a mass white wash of one of the outside walls.

Chris and James were breaking bad and got together to make team tall and reach to the highest heights with the rollers.

Annie and Tom did a 'grate job'

Others brushed down the outside walls, to prep the wall for the brushers and rollers.

After a good 45mins of work, we were on a role and once we stood back you could really see the scale of what we had achieved in such a small space of time!

Once we had downed tools we headed home with a few fitness stops along the way inc lots of side steps, some sprints and a good measure of lunges before returning to base for some stretching and surprise guests...

This week we had some special visitors awaiting us in the Showroom including Lucy bearing fruit and bring us some apples from a previous task with Abundance as well as Sheffield's Lord Mayor MAGIC MAGID who wanted to swing by and say hello ahead of joining us on a run in the future.

We look forward to running with you soon MAGID.

Until next time, happy running! :)

WOW, just WOW!

On our 2nd birthday we had an amazing, incredible, unbelievable 41 runners rock up for the evenings task!

This week we had a slightly longer and hillier run to help Lucy from Abundance with their fantastic work of helping to collect apples that would otherwise go to waste in the city.

After a long hard slog up Cemetery road we met with Lucy who took us to a particularly big tree that was ripe for the picking.

We got a very thorough brief from Lucy re the process for the eve which involved;

• Collecting the 'windfall' apples from the floor
• Passing onto the sorting team who graded, sorted and weighed the apples
• Picking some of the reachables
• Doing a mass shake of the tree with a huge tarp underneath to grab as many as poss - what a sight!

The grand total was 128.5kg!

30kg were 1sts (fruit in good condition) of which 20kg went to the tree owner and 10kg was shared with Roshni Asian Community Centre and Learn For Life English Teaching Centre (both in the Highfield area of Sheff). The rest of the apples were shared with all volunteers, went towards their community juicing event at Feast In The Forest Fair and will be used for future chutney/juicing sessions and cooked at the Harvest Festival with New Roots, held at New Roots. Sat 3rd Nov.

Big congrats to Caroline for hitting 100 deeds and running with her wings and looking angelic.

Once all done we headed back to our friends at Regather for Birthday celebrations which included a lot of laughs, beers, great food and a massive cake! HUGE thanks to Kim and Steve for all their help bringing the party together!

Until next time, happy running :)
