Report written by James Smith

Share the love

This evening we met up with Clive from AgeUK who had lots of of leaflets for us to distribute. The leaflets offer advice to older people about how to get confidential benefits and pension advice. We were given a list of streets to target, and a bundle of leaflets with two varieties. A plan was quickly developed about which streets we could most effectively get leafletted in the allotted time with just the two of us. We decided to focus on Shrewsbury Road and Norfolk Road, also doing all of the little offshoots from them. This also included gated flats and almshouses up Fitzwalter Road.

Giving up the post

After an hour of battling through stiff gates, venturing down dark tracks, and risking dog bites, we set off back to the Showroom to debrief Clive and hand back the remaining leaflets.
