Today we had a fun task for a new charity. Support Dogs help supply for people with disabilities including autism and epilepsy, and they've recently moved their national centre to Hillsborough in Sheffield.
Today we helped them out with setting up a fundraising second hand sale. We helped unload the car, lay out clothes, shoes, toys and bric-a-brac, picking out highlights to display. After eyeing up a few items during set up, we browsed further as the crowds started to arrive and picked up some great bargains!
We hope the charity managed to get rid of most of the stuff and raise lots of money. We chatted to Tess about future potential tasks working on their garden and it's always great to foster new contacts!
Purchases in hand, we headed for lunch in Hillsborough park and logged the nearby lion sculptures that are part of the "Pride of Yorkshire".

We welcome Ernest to our Goodgym group. thank you all for attending. It was fairly a hot day but 7 of us ran from The Showroom Cinema to Union Street, to Common Threads We were made very welcome with orange squash and loads if fruits too. Jess gave us a briefing and explained our tasks. We were all impressed with the 'Money Plants' at the entrance and a lovely photo was taken. We worked in pairs sorting from Baby clothes to adults and placing them in appropriate signage bags . There was also a 'Sports Bag' and we were given first choice to take what we want Not everyone is as lucky as Michelle who managed some lively sporty stuff for herself . We were also given bananas, water melons, plums and other treats. Thank you for your generous amount of treats. All in all the task was carried out with the help of other volunteers too.

On first arrival, Mr S wasn't exactly clear what GoodGym was and how it works. He thought I was just coming to take a look today.
I got stuck in doing what I could - cutting back brambles and overgrowth to clear space around the patio, letting more light in the windows and freeing up the garden gate. Whilst I worked, I chatted to Mr S, including more about GoodGym. Together we chopped and bagged up the cuttings.
I didn't take any photos during the task today, so here's some street art I found on my run home

Mr S has been in hospital so has not been at home for some time. He would like to be able to utilise his garden once again. He cannot remember what tools he has as has not been in hospital for a while.

7 runners met up at The Showroom Cinema. 2 runners (Michelle and Celine) could not join us but took some leaflets where they can distribute in their area of home and work in Sheffield. We left a dozen leaflets at The Showroom Cinema because there were none left. I personally left some a week ago. The other 5 runners started running to various pubs, cafes, and hubs that will actually welcome the leaflets. The Rutland Hotel Pub, The Forresters Pub, and various other pubs were really welcoming and we actually ended up for a drink too. Various cafes on Division Street greeted us with respect and kindness. Prior to this I have also taken leaflets to The Circle on Rockingham Street. The runners also walked into hubs where leaflets were placed for the public to take. We also took photos of the installation of The Lions and included our task as a touristy fun run. I also spotted and targeted various groups of people and explained to them about the play and gave them information of where to go. Also met Kiki, a theatre enthusiast and works with Refugees and she informed me that she also will take some leaflets to her church . All in all it was good swamping of leaflets. After the run I personally went back to Utopia Theatre to check how the Opening went and majority that I met said that the play was so emotional, fantastic, overwhelming and would like to see it again.
