After the heat thwarted our efforts to deliver leaflets for the Spencer Denney Centre, Didem, Sol and Jess were not going to be defeated. The terrific trio regrouped in Windsor, ready to turn a hot‑weather hold‑up into a cool‑evening success.

We set off to deftly deliver leaflets to homes surrounding the Spencer Denney Centre, spreading the word about their brilliant services and a couple of upcoming fundraising events (see the pictures for more details). In just over an hour, we covered 4km and dispatched around 300 leaflets — all fingers intact, despite a few unexpectedly enthusiastic dogs guarding their letterboxes.

The evening was warm, calm and infinitely nicer than the searing heatwave that had delayed us the week before. Perfect leaflet‑dropping weather at last.

But the night held an extra celebration too: it was Didem's 50th Good Deed. She received her medal and some cake — and we’ll let you decide whether Jess really baked it. When asked about her favourite task so far, Didem chose painting at the Spencer Denney Centre, making it wonderfully fitting that her milestone mission supported them once again.

A heat‑halted task, happily handled — and a milestone marked in style.
