Last minute listing to a new place and a new community group!

ReflecTeen are a youth community group next door to FC United of Manchester that runs after school clubs and football for locals. They are in the midst of refurbishing their space to have a Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) in their back yard.

To get this done, they need to clear the area and remove the fencing so we were asked if we could come along to help move a rather heavy shed. Turns out, the company contracted to do the work have delayed the task by a whole month so the shed was emptied but doesn't need moving yet (thankfully as it was solitary task in the end). We will be called upon in the next few weeks to get a group to move it, so keep an eye out for that!

After having a drink of water, I ran back via FC United, Etihad, and COOP Live for a decent loop. Lots of opportunities for litter picking were spotted on the way too... 🚮
