..apparently truckles is a synonym for beds(!)

6 Goodgymers headed to Tyndale church this morning. Despite me getting the time completely wrong on the listing everyone arrived at the perfect time which was GREAT! (Will make sure next week's listing is correct - fear not). Before the van arrived we had the chance to chat to the vicar about the project that has been running since January. He told us that one of people staying nightly in the churches had found a job and permanent accommodation and had recently stopped using the service which is awesome. Having security of somewhere warm and safe to sleep makes such a difference and we're really pleased we've been able to play a small role in getting the churches ready for their arrivals.

We got the mattresses and duvets in quickly.. I think the more we've done it, the more streamlined we've become! There was of course time for a quick photoshoot before we headed off on our merry way.
