Castlehaven Report:

11 of us headed to help Castlehaven Community Centre on the coldest night of the year - corrrr!

After a miles run we arrived at Castlehaven, our task last night was to collect up as many leaves as possible from the compost area. This area is going to have some major landscaping work happening too so we are clearing the way for that.

However it was also the spot for the most leaves ever seen by anyone in late January. Using rakes, gloves, grabbers and Pritesh's bare hands we filled up 10 huge sacks of leaves in 25 mins - amazing!

After finding Jonathan's gloves morale was high but our bodies were cold. We headed into the night for a run around and a time trial around Granary Square - good work all.

Beds and Leaves!

C4WS Report by Katherine:

Frances led a group of 12 to do our weekly winter task of making beds at the C4WS homeless shelter. While Hayley and Meredith set up the ladies room, everyone else got to work in the main hall. By 7:30 everything was complete, we left some chocolates on the pillows before heading to Russell Square for a fitness session.

Katherine "tortured” the group with some squats, planks and lunges before the group did a three lap progression run round the square. A quick run home and an early finish!

Sign up for next week here when we'll be making beds for the homeless and sorting donations at the Scope Charity Shop.
