It was Team K for the first shift of Saturday, Kris and Katie manned the trollies and cajoled shoppers into picking up a couple of tins with their shop and donating them to the foodbank.

We observed a few bits of drama but also lots of kindness from people who donated goods. We also heard stories from people who'd been homeless or used the foodbank previously.

A nice start to Saturday. Next on the list of jobs for Kris was making a curry and watching the rugby. I went off to find some hills...

As always, there are lots more opportunities to join us to do good. Have a look at the listings and take your pick!
