Tracey and Gwyn set off on a frosty morning with an icy wind to the warmth of the welcome at DRS. We heard the amazing and inspiring stories of some of the refugees, and heard the good news of M getting leave to remain. It was so good to hear the cheers! One of the great volunteers at Elvaston Castle and Gardens Trust, had knitted some cosy hats which will be distributed to the refugees. Walking back, we met some running friends and fellow GoodGymer Pete: he was running in shorts! Brrrrrr.
