This second lockdown has left a lot of people out of action, so Saturday's task had us lacing up our trainers for some good old fashioned leafleting for the local community centre!
Depsite a damp start to the day, the weather cleared up just enough for the team to deliver more than 300 newsletters for the SYDNI centre in Sydenham. We have to say a big thank you to the SYDNI Centre for providing such detailed maps and perfect routes. Well done to David and Philip for coming along and getting some miles in for the Warwick and Leamington Spa team and a special shoutout to James for being the first back to base and showing us all how its done! Finally, a massive thank you to Becky who got through 140 leaflets on her solo mission despite the rough weather this weekend.
Massive thanks to everyone who came along. Kate and the rest of the team were so appreciative and would love to have us back soon.
