With the help of my two runners we were able to get ahead of schedule which led to the day being much more smooth

Arriving at Miss M's flat and peering in through the front door, to Kash and Sevan it looked packed with stuff. Good thing that they were on a mission to declutter and take donations to a local charity shop.

At first, a set of bags were ready on the landing for donation, filled with clothes and bags. Miss M said that this would be all for today as the bags were heavy. The mission description had said something about heavy books too though, so Sevan asked if there was more to help with. There was, so Kash and Sevan explained that they had the time to do more for Miss M today and she decided to prepare another batch for when Kash and Sevan returned.

The mission was originally listed for 2 or 3 GoodGymers and on the way to the charity shop, the duo found a woman with skates who took some of the weight off them. The now trio speedily made it to Fara and their donations were gratefully received.

For the second round, the donations were more eclectic. Miss M had found a pressure cooker, some curling tongs that historians would be interested in, a saw (not donateable), clothes and more bags. There were also 3 heavy boxes full of books that Sevan helped lift out of the hallway cupboard. Those 3 steps to the cupboard were as far as he or Kash went into the flat during the mission.

The first box from the cupboard was full of novels and the next 2 were a bit lighter and full of... handbags! Miss M could've started her own handbag shop as Sevan estimated that they may have donated 40 of them during the mission. Another quick run to the charity shop with the second set of unnecessary items left the charity shop workers and Miss M very happy.

Anastasia and myself jingled over to Mr D to help him put up some Christmas decorations in his flat to make him and his cat feel more festive. I realised i had done this task before, 2 years ago, so was lovely to see Mr D again. After encountering a chewed Xmas light wire (the cat was looking guilty!), luckily he had plenty of other lights and decorations squirrelled away to complete the transformation and we were done in no time, leaving him happy and looking forward to the festive season! Happy Christmas! 🎄

Set up equipment for those taking part in the workshop

Was a hard task but we got there in the end. We successfully moved the food from the truck into our pantry ready for the community to shop.

It was a nice and easy session we swept the floor and then set up the cricket for the session. Harvey was very helpful and lovely to speak to. Harvey
