It was fantastic to welcome new runner Millie along to last nights run, we hope you enjoyed it and you come back again Millie!
It was a very short uphill round the corner type run (a popular one) round to Common Thread at Union Street this week.
We met Fran and other volunteers from Common Thread as they were mid sort, unfortunately with a broken elevator which made things a little more complicated than usual. No matter, we still get stuck in!
Rather than prepping for a clothes exchange this time we were helping to sort requested items from other charities in Sheffield including:
Ben's Centre - A homelessness charity City of Sanctuary - An asylum seekers charity Sheffield Working Women's Opportunities Project (SWWOP) - A charity providing intensive support, outreach, and harm reduction services to women involved in sex work
Each charity had different clothing requests and we did our best to sort through clothes to find appropriate donations for them.
It's always a great welcome at Common Thread and we look forward to coming back to see them for the next one!
Until next time, happy running! :)
