Today 2 runners returned to St Petrock's shop and homelessness hub in the city centre to help Lucy who was looking after the shop on her own, and needed some sorting doing upstairs.

Our job was to sort through about 20 bags of donated clothes and sift out the good quality ones with a vintage theme to be cleaned and then sold in the shop.

Given neither of us have much of an eye for vintage (sorry Pete!) this was not as easy as it sounds! Our best find was a huge bag full of beautifully knitted blankets.

It was lovely to return the shop and if anyone is interested the project do keep an eye on our missions and group runs as we will I'm sure be helping out again there soon.
