Our super 7 lifted and heaved their way to a tidier New Year at Liverpool Unitarian Church.

On a freezing (literally) evening, our team arrived at the church on foot and were led down to a large basement that was heaped full of random bits of bobs. As well as being home to the local Unitarian congregation, the church serves as a community centre, gig space and wedding venue, in its glorious listed building. With so much activity, the basement appears to have become a dumping ground for disgarded and broken objects.

Over an hour, climbing the stairs and handing smaller objects through a hatch, we managed to clear scores of dusty chairs, four vaccum cleaners, a roomful of wooden pallets, a wheelbarrow, a giant wooden shoe-print and a crate of out-of-date beer, amongst other bits and pieces.

It was fantastic to be joined by two lovely newbies Lee and Gill who fitted right in and really got stuck in.

All in all, we shifted at least a skip full of rubbish, hopefully leaving the church with more space for useful objects or more activity space.

Well done team, fantastic work tonight!
