"Two Hours of Team Power: Sprucing Up Staywell Day Centre"

In just two hours, our team of Emily, Jill, and Jana made a big impact at the Staywell Day Centre. We focused on tidying up the front entrance, pulling weeds, and tackling the moss build-up on the driveway. Jana’s dad joined the effort with a fantastic job clearing oak leaves from the flowerbeds in the back garden.

A well-earned tea break with mince pies kept spirits high, and we wrapped up feeling pleased with what we’d achieved. We hope the refreshed outdoor areas bring joy to the centre’s residents in the coming week!

On a crisp autumn morning, Jane, Helen, Petra, Jana, and Jana’s dad took on the daunting task of clearing the day centre terrace of its leafy blanket. The mission was made especially tricky as we discovered there wasn’t a broom or rake in sight. Armed only with bare hands, we dove in with determination and a good dose of humour.

Before long, our efforts were rewarded, and we cheered as two wheelie bins and three bin bags overflowed with evidence of our hard work. A well-earned tea break followed, where Petra and Jana’s dad kept us entertained with nostalgic stories of growing up in the Czech Republic. The camaraderie made the chilly task feel warm and lively.

However, just as we toasted our progress, a playful gust of wind arrived, scattering a fresh wave of leaves onto the terrace. Undeterred, the team switched gears and began tackling weeds lurking between the paving stones.

One final sweep (by hand, of course!), and we declared victory over the terrace. Huge thanks to the team for their energy, laughter, and hard work. Great job, everyone—until the next round of leaves falls!
