2 people got up really early (4:30 am) to help out with the YMCA Sleep Easy morning clear up. Many people had built shelters out of cardboard boxes, tarpaulin, hope and sticky tape. There were lots of blurry eyes and sleepy yawns as we helped clean up the storage area and makeshift camp of all cardboard into 2 large recycling bins that were thoughtfully placed as far away as possible. Some might say that the payoff was the great feeling of helping out at such a thought provoking event, others claim it was the cheeky free burger.

Hall maintenance will help to extend the life of Mickleover Memorial Hall. This will allow them to invest more in projects such as a kitchenette and disabled toilet to make the building more useful and accessible to the local community.
