Wednesday 1st January
Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
King's Cross, Holborn, and Camden aren't known for being sleepy.
They're never usually quiet.
They're usually exuberantly bustling.
Yet yesterday... as our intrepid group of New Year Good-Deeders made their way through... they could hear their footsteps... they could barely hear any traffic... and (for the first time in decades) they could easily hear their conversations!
This was the joy of Central London on New Year's Day!
And our wonderful group of Anne, Ivar, Louise, Jackie, John, Steph, and Steve were one of an unusually small number populating our city's central streets!
They were doing so for good reason.
It was a Wednesday, which meant it was an American International Church Winter Shelter night, and this group were ready to sprinkle their usual good-deeding magic.
Amidst stories from the festive period, nine beds (across three rooms) were assembled, dressed, and tidily organised ready for the shelter's evening guests :)
And it wasn't just the New Year that was in need of celebration... because Jackie, who is a rock in our Camden group, had hit her 200th good deed!! Congratulations, Jackie, and thank you for being such a special person and wonderful part of our group!!!
Here's to next time!
Thu 2nd Jan at 6:00pm
