This evening’s one-hour task at Grow Baby was all about teamwork, speed and a very effective human chain.

Our crew — Dave, Rachel, Farzeen, Emily, Raquel, Anna, Jana and Laura — helped move bags of sorted clothing that had been rejected from donations and prepared for recycling. The mission: shift them from the basement up to the first floor, ready for collection tomorrow.

With Dave stationed on the stairs and the rest of the team forming a slick human chain, bags were hooped, passed and stacked at impressive speed. Farzeen also multitasked by donating and carefully sorting her own children’s clothes onto the rail, while Jana kept count of the bags.

The result? 72 bags moved in just 20 minutes.

With time left over, we caught our breath, chatted about January Challenge mileage, and admired a job very well done. A brilliant effort for Grow Baby, a charity providing vital clothing and equipment to families with babies and young children.

Another great task see you next time 💪♻️
