The cold is here!!!

But we didn't let it stop us. As the mercury went down in Sheffield town we still gathered at The Showroom and headed a short way around the corner to meet with Jess and the gang at Common Thread to help with some mass clothe sorting.

The system that is now known is to grab a big blue IKEA bag which contains unsorted clothes and check for quality and stains and if good then go on to catagorize from there and finally bag up, date and label and send back down in the lift.

This way when it comes to the next clothes swap, items have already been sorted and are good to be put out onto the rails for people to go through and select at their leisure.

As ever the Common Thread people were so welcoming with snacks on the table and the offer a warm drinks!

We love coming to Common Thread and will be back once more before Christmas so get yourselves signed up for the next one!

Happy running! :)

A HUGE congratulations to GGSHF LEGEND Rachel for completing her 400th good deed!

Rachel donned the GGSHF cape and wore it in style last night as we headed just around the corner and up the hill from The Showroom to join our very welcoming friends at Common Thread.

With many donations building up we were on hand to help sort.

Labels were created and bags of clothes were thrown onto the floor for us to sort and sift through into categories ready for the next Common Thread event where people bring their own unwanted clothes to donated and swap them for a bag of clothes that they do want!

A great alternative to fast fashion and unnecessary consumerism.

We got through an elevator full of bags of clothes and said our goodbyes to the CT gang.

Some of us went to nearby food fave Mexican Street Food Chef to celebrate Rachel's achievements which was really nice!

Until next time, happy running! :)

What a perfect night for a lovely inside task!

On a bit of a bleak drizzly Sheffield eve we made our way to our old friends Regather to do some painting of the events space which will soon be put back into action which we're all looking forward to.

We met Jess and Rachel on site who got us up and running straight away with rollers, brushes and paint at the ready!

Some went for the tall stuff, some the small detail stuff, it was all appreciated by the team at Regather.

We were well looked after with cups of tea, coffee and the groups fave hot chocolate made for the team!

After a decent sesh the painted areas were looking loads better and I'm sure it won't be long until a bunch of us are in there enjoying events to come!

Until next time, happy running! :)
