I was lucky to be asked to participate in SPEAR's first shake the tin collection drive at Richmond Station since the pandemic. Bruce, head of development for the homeless to independence charity, has been working hard on gaining approval from SWR for this valuable means of raising funds and awareness. Although I noticed less footfall during busy morning rush hour than in prior years and that more people donating by card, it was lovely to once again greet commuters and get to have a chat with some people in the community about the charity and its mission, including a fellow GoodGymer on his way to work!
