It was a fantastic turnout in Raynes Park as we supported the Dylan Strong Foundation with an extra Santa Sleigh collection tonight. The evening kicked off with huge crowds eager to see the big man himself, and while it took a little time to work through all the photo requests, the festive energy was high. Once we got moving, we hit the streets to knock on doors and shake buckets, meeting plenty of generous residents along the way. It was a lovely mild evening, and we thoroughly enjoyed playing Santa’s little helpers.

At the end of a long day when there's a need to move items to storage post-event, the "young and active" reputation makes it difficult to decline a request. With the real challenge of mentally juggling entry codes and padlocks it wasn't long before everything was successfully loaded into the storage unit. We even managed to squeeze in a quick, well-earned drink before cycling off into the night.

The Little ARK event was in full swing on arrival, with plenty of festive bustle and ad-hoc tasks to tackle. We stayed busy moving benches and shifting furniture nearby before transitioning into the final pack-down, where it was all hands needed for some heavy lifting. The perfect workout to wrap up the week, leaving the space tidy and ending the Christmas fair season.
