Monday October 8th

Great progress was made over the weekend by our  intrepid volunteers, so today the men (and Donna) have been wielding paintbrushes and rollers getting all the upstairs rooms ready for carpet. 

 

Isnt it amazing what a coat of white paint will do?   This is the stationery store cupboard before and after.  We can't wait to actually have a place to put everything all neat and tidy and in order.  Thanks for doing such a great job in quite a tight space today

Over on the other side of the property our spotlights have arrived and are up so that the Highlight Afterschools club can now actually live up to its name :)


At midnight tonight voting closes for the Guardian Public Servant of the Year awards.  SO we will stop pestering you to vote.   But until midnight we are still in pestering mode.  So PLEASE do add your vote if you havent done so already.  This is a really big deal for us as a small charity and Im sure all of you who have been following this blog would agree Gail deserves every vote for having the vision, determination, drive and courage to undertake something as crazy and wonderful and daunting and amazing as Wellington House.  :)
