Another event to help with at Wimbledon Quarter. Swiftly unpacking donations and filling rail after rail with pre-loved garments. With every hanger straightened the space was swap-ready just in time for attendees to hunt for sustainable style gems.

High-fives, high-vis, and decent weather made for a fantastic morning as our team stepped in to support Morden parkrun with their 100th event. We stayed busy across the course, directing runners from key marshalling posts while the funnel team managed the finish line.

Out on the course, two of our team took on pacing duties using the "Jeffing" run-walk method to guide participants at a steady, encouraging rhythm. These structured intervals provided the perfect low-impact comeback for one of our own squad, getting them back into the running groove right before half marathon training kicks in over the coming months.

Well done everyone!
