Meeting up at the Tap Tavern for our run, it was good to get warm while running to St Christopher's Children's Home, a theme that would continue as we received a lovely warm welcome and went on to turn a bathroom from cool blue to a warming mushroom colour.

Seven of us armed ourselves with paintbrushes and rollers and somehow found a corner each to get painting, a fast lesson in ladder technique and teamwork in small spaces! The paint went on well with the workout bringing in both strength and agility. We discovered hidden talents from Lucy with her very useful height for tall spots, Lucy utilising her bouldering skills and Rosie proving a dab hand at bath balancing!

It was a lengthy task but determination was strong, and so were our arms! After a good brush and roller clean, we left for our run and cycles back with that warm feeling only volunteering can bring!

We are back at St Christopher's for our last task of 2022, we would love you to join us!
