Andrea had sad news for us last night in the fact that GROAD would no longer be able to use the premises at the Naked Hare for their collections - as their business is expanding the space in the back will no longer be available.
This left us with a sad choice where we could only clear out GROAD's things rather than the grand plan of making the area a lovely oasis for people dropping off donations and a comfy shelter for Brixton's stray cats (more on these guys later).
That didn't take away from the enjoyment of a good run out in the daylight from Papa's looping round Clapham North and on to Acre Lane where the friendly staff of the Naked Hare were waiting for us to let us in. 😀
The task that was left was to clear out the donations which were being stored in the conservatory and to do a clear up of the alleyway as a thank you to the team for having hosted GROAD for the time they had. It was spades, shovels, brooms and bags at the ready and the task was complete in no time! 🧤 🚮
We had a couple of visitors during the task to keep an eye on how we were getting on, one particularly handsome feline (pictured) took a shine to Tilly and they carried on a friendly exchange throughout.
As we headed back the group discussed upcoming GoodGym matters including the reinvigoration of our social media strategy (thanks Effie and Charlotte) and upcoming missions. Check out the homepage for more details.
