Despite the relentless rain, our team brought festive cheer to the Solent Mind Elf Run, supporting a fantastic cause for mental health. Helen and Wilson kept runners on track as route marshals, while Steph greeted and assisted participants at the start. We jingled bells, wore elf hats, and cheered runners around the course— soaked but smiling. The Grinch led the way and we managed to get a photo with him before he set off. Wilson helped pack down at the end. A wet and wonderful morning for a great charity!

Philip and Stephanie joined Friends of Portswood Rec on a perfect sunny Saturday morning to help give the garden some pampering. We were tasked with clearing an area in a shady spot and filled a large bag full. Now the spot is ready for the local Scout group to plant some native English Bluebells which will delight everyone next year when they flower. There is always a refreshments break organised by Denise and her welcoming team of volunteers.
