The Swap Box

The Swap Box A place to donate your unwanted running gear to help out those who need it and cut down on material waste. Bring it to the Swap Box.

As runners, we know how much stuff we all accumulate that sits in a cupboard and eventually gets thrown away.

Apologies for not getting any photos yesterday at the hayletowncouncil Health and Well-being Festival, I was too busy having an absolutely fantastic time connecting with you all and forgot to look at my phone or take a photo, which, in my mind, shows what a winner of a day it was!

Thank you to everyone that came to say hi, my helpers Sarah, Jon and Carol, and of course hayletowncouncil for putting on such a lovely event, which Hayle very much needed! Julie, all your hard work really paid off, I hope you are having a restful celebratory day today 🙌, we appreciate you dearly.

Yesterday reminded me of some of the community events held in the rec from my childhood, which gave me a warm feeling of connection and appreciation for this town and the wonderful people in it!

Looking forward to more events like this, bringing people together 🙏🙌❤️

Thank you Emily Brown for this photo 📸
