Working towards a sustainable legacy

Very interesting weekend this weekend. Firstly Saturday saw me in action for the DKH legacy trust working with a group of young people who were doing their NCS and volunteering within their local community. Around 25 were there to help chop wood, sort out nativity costumes and clean up the cupboard. They then went out on a leaflet drop to promote the activities of the local church (Abundant Life Church, Bradford). After a few false starts, there was wood flying everywhere and a couple of times I had to take cover quickly! My role was to bolster some good spirit (not hard, everyone was in good form). We did a bit of a Japanese language test (what does judo mean?) and then I was encouraged to give a quick demo. One of the guys was a willing volunteer and we had a great time wrestling in sumo suits! Team Sophie proved triumphant, although she did have a little help :). The cupboard was spotless by the end and the church organisers were very happy with the help.
