Five , Sophie, Harry, Mary, Keith and Lea, turned up at the Salvation Army in Poole. Well, we had to find the entrance first…Wow, so many toys!!! And so many bags to be filled with those toys. With perfect preparation and organisation by the Salvation Army people the whole thing ran like clockwork. With 176 children on their list, a lot needed to be sorted and put in bags per family. What a delightful task, esp when imagining the smiles of the kids getting the toys.

Mary and Kim were helping out at the Cornerstone Patch in Hamworthy chopping up pallets into suitable pieces for firewood.

This fire wood will be used to keep everyone warm at the autumn event being held there next week.

It’s safe to say they won’t be using their sawing skills for any thing requiring a straight line anytime soon but this pile of wood should keep a lovely fire going!
