On this fine Sunday, ☀ Lauren and Nadia arrived at the Brookwood Memorial Hall to set up the train set with All Aboard!; a charity that runs play sessions for children with autism and ADHD.

After some instructions from Richard the Train Controller, we got stuck in building the tracks, along with the other volunteers. We seemed to be on a roll today as the tracks were all joined up within 35 minutes! We then put some stations in as well as tunnels, and finally the best bit was putting the trains on. Some of them are battery powered and it’s great seeing them move on the tracks. We had some nice coffee made by the Italian barista on site, Josie, and had a lovely chit chat before the children arrived. They jumped straight to the trains and got stuck in!

Great to be back again and looking forward to next time!

This evenings task was to carry out a deep clean at the foodbank but then a last minute request from a local charity to deliver leaflets to highlight up and coming martian race

On this beautiful evening Wayne, Nadia, Kirsty, & James met at Woking leisure centre. Katie ran from home and met us at the foodbank. Julie also met us at the foodbank as she came straight from work. Adam who is currently nursing a injured ankle which happened during the Richmond 1\2 marathon walked to the foodbank Hats off to him 👍🏻

James brought along a ruck sack which had over a 1000 leaflets which Kirsty volunteered to put on for the first half of the run (Up until we got the the hills 🤣). While running we were hearing about Nadia recent trip to Singapore it sounded amazing. Once we got the the first hill Wayne took the ruck sack and continued running up the hill to the foodbank. When we arrived we met the rest of the gang along with Allison who gave us our tasks.

Nadia, Adam, & James were on sweeping & hoovering duties. Kirsty was giving the shelves a good wipe down, while Julie & Katie were following behind with the mops. Wayne was doing a littles bit of everything 😄.

in no time we had given the whole place a deep clean and the place was looking and smelling fresh. We took our customary photo on the famous stairs said our good byes and headed off to the apartment blocks to deliver the leaflets for te up and coming Martian Race 👽. With James knowledge of all the blocks we managed to hit the first block which had 76 letter boxes. After that we went to the 2nd block were we did another 124 letterboxes. In total we did 442 apartments which was pretty good going 🏃🏼‍♂️.

Once we finished we headed back to the leisure centre and said our goodbye's.

This Sunday we have two tasks. Volunteering at Junior Park Run And The All Aboard club building the big train set. We have reached the max amount of volunteers for the All Aboard but plenty still needed for park run.

Next Wednesday we are running to the All Saints Parish Church In Woodham. We will be meeting at WWF by the steps along the canal.

See you then. 😄

All ABOARD

This morning Wayne, Kirsty, & Nadia headed to Brookwood to help the All Aboard Club build a giant train track for neurodiverse children to play and interact with 🚂.

We met Richard and a few young volunteers who were also helping out. The beauty of this task is there are no instructions its just build a track, and every time its always different 😄.

Nadia joined us for her 2nd task within a week which is fantastic. This was Kirsty & Wayne 2nd time to get involved with this amazing task.

There were plenty of bridges and signal crossings as well as the dreaded engineering works. 🤣. Within the hour we had created an amazing track just in time for the arrival of the first kids. Seeing the smiles on their faces was amazing.

Keep a look out for some up and coming tasks and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
