Last night's meet-up was a blast! Just me and Chau, taking over the Bassuah Legacy Foundation charity shop 💪🏽👟

We were greeted with a warm hug from Tina, the lovely owner. We got straight to work, dividing and conquering like pros 🤑!

I took on the upstairs challenge, swapping out old stock for fresh faces 👕👗, while Chau tackled the downstairs store area like a boss 👑. She sorted bags of clothes into neat boxes, separating brands from non-brands like a pro 🕵️‍♀️.

The verdict? The shop is looking sorted 🤩!

If you ever find yourself in the area, do pop into Bassuah Legacy Foundation – it's a win-win: great finds and supporting single-parent families 👏!

🎊 Our evening started with a cheerful meet-up before we set off together — some of us running, others walking — to reach the shop, getting those steps (and smiles) in along the way 🏃‍♀️🚶‍♂️. It was the perfect way to warm up before an evening of treasure hunting and teamwork!

When we arrived, we were greeted by the lovely Dr. Christina, who gave us a VIP behind-the-scenes tour of the shop and its hidden basement full of wonders. Bag after bag, shoe after shoe, and shelf after shelf of books 🤯 — it felt like discovering a secret world beneath the high street! Dr. Christina’s passion for the project was contagious, and we were all excited to dive straight in.

Chau took charge of the shoe department 👠, turning chaos into order with some creative flair, while Caroline and I rolled up our sleeves to sort and hang clothing ready for the shop floor 👗. Caroline even discovered a glamorous toy chimpanzee friend sporting bright lipstick 💄🐵 — definitely the style icon of the night! Dr. Christina showed us how to assess donations and prepare items for recycling, giving us a peek into the sustainability side of charity retail ♻️.

After our hard work, we ran and walked back together under the evening sky — a lovely way to round off a feel-good session full of laughter, teamwork, and a sense of purpose 💖. The Bassuah Legacy shop truly is a labour of love, and we’re proud to have played a small part in keeping its legacy shining bright. There’s still plenty more to do, and we can’t wait to return! 💪✨
