The mission at Raleigh House was short but seriously satisfying. With the sun shining and spirits high, our team Jana, Charlotte, Adam, and Emily rolled up their sleeves to tackle the front entrance and give it a well-deserved refresh. Armed with some impressive pick-axe style tools (which definitely made us feel more hardcore than your average gardeners), Adam got straight to work on the stubborn weeds around the entrance sign. He powered through and cleared the whole area an absolute transformation and a job brilliantly done. Charlotte turned her attention to the rose bed, which had been completely taken over by weeds. With patience and determination, she brought it back to life, leaving the roses with space to shine again. Jana took on the long bed under the bush no small task but made great progress clearing it out. Adam jumped back in towards the end to lend a hand, and together they finished off the front section, leaving it neat and tidy. Meanwhile, Emily worked her magic on the driveway, clearing all the weeds and making the whole entrance look instantly more welcoming. As if the satisfying results weren't enough, we were rewarded with some lovely chocolate treats from the Staywell staff, very well received! And to top it all off, Jana brought along homemade chocolate brownies, which went down an absolute treat as we wrapped up. A beautiful morning, great teamwork, and a front entrance that now looks so much better what more could you want?

Today was filled with unpacking lots of new donations provided by the local community and sorting them into the relevant boxes for clothes and toys.

I had time to prepared a few new baby bundles for expectant parents and also clear out a load of stuff ready for tonight’s Goodgym task at Growbaby.

Today, there were a lot of toys to sort through, organise, clean up and pop into order! Goodgym helped get coats, snowsuits, hats and wellies out for the little ones during this cold wet winter!
