It was fantastic to welcome new runner Sherif to the gg family, a welcome and really helpful addition.

The weather was fantastic last night, so it was a bit of shame we were heading inside, but as soon as we arrived Jess and the team at Common Thread brought the sunshine inside!

This week we were packing up clothes parcel for people in need, from families to funerals. It was great to know who the parcels we were putting together were going to, really bringing the charities reach and impact to life.

Some people got to general sorting of donations, whilst others had a printed sheet of the peoples requirements.

Refreshments were on had and as ever, were really appreciated.

It was great to see everyone and help out again with our friends at Common Thread.

Until next time, happy running! :)

I joined Alex a few minutes after he'd already started the task for Mrs S after Google maps directed me an awkward way on my bike. He was already busy weeding between the paving, where the spring sun and rain has done their thing and they'd grown... well, like weeds! I got stuck in at the other end and we kept going until we'd met in the middle.

It was difficult to get to the root of the problem between paving stones, so it seems likely that it won't take it long for things to grow back, but it looks smarter for now and hopefully Mrs S will be able to keep on top of it.

Rachel and Celine met wiht the lovely Mrs C at her home to help re-arrange the bedroom furniture. Although the wardrobe had already been taken down by friends of Mrs C, we set out to move the bed, re-arrange boxes and clothes. Mrs C should now be able to access her bedroom without any fear of trips and falls! Going forward Mrs C wishes to declutter clothes from her wardrobe and donate them to charity. We would love to help!
