We completed our monthly Community Mission this morning to provide volunteers for Junior parkrun on the Town Moor.
This has definitely become a great event to be involved in as it has such a fun and friendly atmosphere, as Families are able to run together. Our help is always massively appreciated by the organisers.
There were 13 of us in total which is an amazing turnout (Myself, Michael, Louise, Aimee B, Nick, Abi, Dan, Rachel, Andrew, Katy, Emma, Amy I and James) Shout out to Abi and Nick, as it was their first Community Mission and a welcome back to James on his 2nd good deed)
We all met outside the cafe in Exhibition Park and walked across to the Volunteers briefing. We could not believe how good the weather was (Sunny and warm!) Previously we seemed to be jinxed by the Weather with it either being freezing cold, foggy or windy.
The volunteers briefing is always well organised, everybody was given a lanyard (with instructions on) and a whistle and the all the positions were clearly explained. The most important bit of the briefing was to have our best high five and cheers ready!
A variety of roles were completed including marshaling, funnel manager, finish tokens and tail walker.
Afterwards we all enjoyed breakfast and a good catch up in the cafe afterwards (Amy and James ordered what looked like the best ice creams!)
We will definitely be back to help again in June!
