Peel good factor

We made short work of the set up ensuring the space was welcoming and ready for guests. Then, it was time to get stuck into the kitchen prep, where we peeled our way through a mountain of carrots.
Lifting spirits (and a lot of chairs)
Wednesday 4th February
Written by Jade
There’s nothing like a brisk morning mission to prove you don't need a gym membership when there’s a church hall to clear. Packing away after the night shelter at Martin Way methodist church and prepping the space for its next community use involved plenty of lifting and shifting, hauling and stacking chairs. There was even time to get Henry (the vacuum) out for a spin - strangely therapeutic!
Rest assured

Tonight was a quick shift getting the mattresses down and pillows perfectly placed. Knowing that these beds provide a safe, warm place for people to rest makes this one of our most rewarding regular tasks at this time of year.
Lifting for chair-ity
Tuesday 27th January
Written by Jade
Arriving early with two pairs of hands meant we made light work of the setup, flying through the to-do list in record time. Between all the chair lifting and room prepping, it turned into a fantastic end-of-day workout for a great cause.
Rest assured, mission accomplished

A quick stop at Martin Way Methodist Church tonight to help the team prepare for their first night shelter of 2026. Transforming the hall into a welcoming environment, setting out bedding and arranging the space to make it as cosy as possible for the guests. A heartwarming start to the year, ensuring a warm and comfortable night for those in need.
Dish-ing out extra hands to help
Wednesday 24th December 2025
Written by Jade
We headed over to Faith in Action to help out with the lunch service today to fulfill a last-minute request as their volunteer team is a bit thin on the ground at this time of year, and honestly, seeing the scale of the lunch they’d served, they definitely needed the extra hands.
We spent an hour elbow-deep in suds, working our way through a mountain of washing and drying up. Once the kitchen was under control, we moved into the hall for the post-lunch workout: shifting furniture, vacuuming, and mopping the floors until there wasn't a crumb left. It was a solid team effort leaving the place spotless and we hope to be invited back soon.
