Tonight Helen led a run from Heart up to Coffee on The Crescent, where we'd promised the owner that we'd litter pick in the local area when we helped him on Saturday.

I met the group there with bags & pickers & we got to task picking the lots & lots of litter around the area. We filled a whopping 14 bags full, not bad for 55 minutes. It just shows what a huge impact our team can have in a short period of time. Jason won the prize for most interesting find, a pair of boots!

Coffee on the Crescent gave us free coffee vouchers for the team which were much appreciated!

Welcome to Sreenu who joined us for the first time tonight, it's great to have you on board.

Tonight, in the freezing cold we ran down to Meanwood Farm for our first visit of the year. After admiring the beautiful donkeys, cows and sheep who were in the barn to keep warm, we split into two groups for two tasks. One group headed into the greenhouse for what Katie described as lifting, cleaning, emptying and rearranging equipment (or words to that effect)! The second group headed to the apple trees to lay cardboard around the trees ready for wood chipping. Lydia, Helen and I then grabbed a wheelbarrow each and were tasked with moving wood chip up to the trees. This was quite a good workout lugging those up the hill & it kept us warm (kinda) on this very cold night.

Our group have a free the donkey's campaign in the works, as the donkey's only reside at the farm during the winter, they're on Blackpool beach all summer :(

Well done for coming out in this weather all! Welcome to Jess & Ella, it was great to meet you both.
