What better way to celebrate the message of the Big Plastic Count (Reduce Reuse Recycle) than to do a two for one special task helping out our friends at Get Rid of and Donate (GROAD).

GROAD directly benefits those underprivileged, impoverished communities and people in need of that extra support, providing immediate assistance with free clothing, shoes, and other living essentials and we were helping spread the word to the community around Brixton Water Lane so people could make donations of pre-used and pre-loved items to be redistributed.

Mark met AA Yianny at Papa's while we agreed with Louise and Jo to meet on the way as well as Marie-Noelle our resident walk leader!

We set off in 2s and 3s down various roads and by 8pm a huge stack of flyers had been reduced to almost nothing - and we barely got sprinkled on to boot, although just enough for a rainbow to appear, so that was a bonus :0)

It is a simple but satisfying task and one that we hope will make a big difference to GROAD in their search for donations to give a deserved 2nd life to. If you are interested in supporting GROAD why not sign up for one of our weekly Sunday sessions at St Faith's Church where the donations are packed and sorted?
