A big GG welcome to Solomon who joined us for his first run tonight. Thanks to Annie for introducing Solomon to the group. We hope to see you on another run sometime soon!

This week we were meeting Karen and her crew in Burngreave for some more litter picking action.

The streets were busy with people celebrating Eid so there was a lovely atmosphere in the area, however there was also a lot of litter to be had!

We got tooled up thanks to Karen and headed up hill in search of litter, which we didn't need to go far to find.

After not much time at all our bags were full and it was time to head back.

It was so nice to have more light and finish in the daylight, more of this to come!

Until next time, happy running! :)

A new task for us this week. We headed up, up and away to Arbourthorne to meet with Angela at the fantastic Arbourthorne Community Primary School.

We had some lovely sunset views over Sheffield as we meandered our way up high over the Steel City to our destination for the eve.

We had a new runner this week also, a big GG welcome to Jenny.

Once on site we heard from Angela about the tasks that we to be done which included:

• Trimming down some cut tree branches and moving them
• Moving woodchip in preparation for planting

We got straight to it, filling bags and wheelbarrows full of woodchip and lopping back the branches of the felled tree.

The tasks seemed just about right with us getting through all the woodchip pile and the felled tree branches.

We were thanked by Angela and even offered biscuits for our troubles.

What goes up, must come down so we headed downhill to finish our run and I am sure we will be back in the future to help out again soon!

We had a new runner join our flock tonight. A big GGSHF welcome to Filmon

Filmon and I put in the long miles tonight, racking up over 8km!

Tonight we headed to the bottom of the winter gardens to meet with Denise from the youth homeless charity Roundabout.

We met with Michelle and Taz who both rode to the meet spot and Annie who walked as she lives just round the corner. How multi modal of us!

We got loaded up with leaflets all about the latest events and fund raisers the charity has planned to support its important work.

Next we divided and conquered, working on different streets and then meeting up where the streets joined once more.

Michelle even brought a wooden spoon especially for the task!

After doing what we could in the time we had, we headed our separate ways until the next one!

This has got to be the first, but hopefully not the last GG task where we have had pizza cooked for us on arrival!

The legend that is Jess Dawson, mastermind behind Common Thread despite having very little sleep after a missed flight connection was still flying in top form giving us the low down on clothes sorting in preparation for the next Common Thread event.

Common Thread clothes exchanges happen regularly and encourage people to avoid the fast fashion and instead swap their clothes with others to better serve each others wardrobes and wares. A fantastic idea, which should be done in more places.

There was plenty to sort, from shoes, to accessories and clothes for all occasions, shapes, sizes and colors!

We got through a lot of bags in our time at Union St which is the venue that hosts Common Thread.

We'll be back again for more next month.

Until next time, happy running! :)
