17 GGers ran 4-6k to help Scope Charity Shop in Camden

Welcome along to newbies Ben, Dairo and Martin something and another guy - lovely to have you along!

In the news this week:

  1. Please sign up by Friday if you'd like to come to the GG Camden Christmas Party on Wednesday 12th December (after the group run).
  2. Check out all the races happening in 2019 on the GG Raceteam page.
  3. A massive well done to Thomas Samuels who hit 50 Good Deeds last night - amazing work!

Back to what happened last night! Corrr! We went off to help one of our favourite tasks - Scope Charity Shop in Camden. Helen and her volunteers are always so grateful for our help, our work has been recognised at a Southern England Scope Managers meeting, hopefully other groups will be able to help other shops in the future - great!

After 1.2k of running we arrived at the shop, Helen soon put us all to work, tasks included:

  • Collecting donations outside the shop
  • Cleaning the kitchen, toilet, stairways and upstair rooms
  • Measuring and labelling trousers
  • Sorting out the shoe and accessories section
  • Cleaning the shop!
  • Hanging, labelling and ironing new donations
  • Sorting out the backroom, giving things a tidy

Over 40 minutes we worked really hard and got loads done - amazing! After a group picture we went for a run around Regents Park, with one part of the group heading directly home and the other taking on a 1km time trial.

Good work guys - nice one!

Signup for next week here when we'll be Christmas decorating for SPCA.
