After a very successful leaflet drop "part one" for Reviving the Heart of the West end (RWHE) to spread the word of their community event, the pressure was on tonight! With another 200 leaflets and approximately four streets to cover, I wasn't sure we'd get it all done.

"You really shouldn't underestimate us!" - Michael

With Max as the only runner tonight, he impressively took off uphill ready to start leafleting- his method of not spooking the residents being creating as much movement as he could- while myself, Aimee and Michael started power walking to avoid getting too cold.

I was amazed to find a few houses that still had Christmas decorations up (is this what people do to avoid January blues?!) and again we found as soon as we hit a long terraced street that the leaflets absolutely flew out. Thankfully there were no trapped fingers tonight!

All 200 leaflets were done in about 40 minutes tonight and we felt really satisfied to meet back up, empty handed. We took a steady walk back to our start point feeling pleased the job was done that will hopefully make a difference to this week's RHWE event.

There is another chance to do good this week with Charlotte's Thursday litter pick. Get along if you can!
