Report written by Cheski Kennedy (she/her)
Last night’s volunteering session at Bassuah Legacy Foundation started in the most British way possible… by talking about the weather for a solid few minutes 😄 One minute sunshine, the next wind and rain — classic!
When we arrived, we discovered we’d just missed the BBC apparently 🎥😅 Timing is everything!
Once inside, we split up to tackle different jobs around the shop:
🛒 I took charge of the shop front and even managed to sell an umbrella to a customer — honestly, given the weather, it practically sold itself ☔😂
👕 Meanwhile, Matthew, Kesani and Jalal were hard at work downstairs sorting through clothes and clearing space in the corridor. We separated items ready to sell from those to be recycled, while also clearing out rubbish and making the whole area feel far more organised 🙌♻️
By the end of the evening, the difference was huge — more space, more sorted stock, and less clutter for Tina to worry about 💛
📸 Best of all, we left Tina in such a great mood she didn’t want us to go! Plenty of laughs, smiles, and selfies to finish the night off too 😄✨
Another brilliant evening of teamwork and community spirit — already looking forward to the next one! 💪
