Report written by Helen Conner (she/her)
We were met at the British Heart foundation shop by the shop Manager and a large pile of bags and boxes full with books and clothes ready to transport to their other shop.
We filled the trolley with the heaviest items and Mary and Chris moved the heavy trolley through the city. At times we thought Chris and Mary had been drinking as the trolley went in all directions apart from forward and in a straight line :) Their story is that it had wonky wheels but do we believe them? Haha.
The other shop must have heard us coming a mile away as the trolley was so loud on the old streets of Bath that it was hard to hear each other over the noise. A resident even stuck his head out of his building to check out where the noise was coming from. Apologies Bath, it was the trolley, not us!
Rachel and Meyrick carried boxes and bags whilst Helen took pictures, laughed a lot and offered words of encouragement to the team.
It took just 3 trips back and forth to deliver all the books and boxes to the other store and we did it in just 40 minutes. I wonder how quick we could have done it if we moved like they do on supermarket sweep?
Another mission complete, another satisfied charity.
