Big Help Mob: Cleaning Crusade

On Sunday I joined four very enthusiastic superheroes for a few hours hard yakka, cleaning up the entire house of a Warnbro gentleman who needed a bit of a hand. Greg's got paraplegia and he needs to move into a house which is more suitable for him to look after, but before he can he has to get his current property looking a bit more spick and span. That's where Big Help Mob superheroes stepped in to help out!

We spent from about 10 in the morning til just before 4 cleaning walls, roofs, the kitchen, bathroom, outside, inside, EVERYTHING!

Greg was a really likeable guy and I won't lie, the work wasn't easy but it was fun. I've been volunteering for the BHM communications team for a couple of months, but I haven't been on a mission since the launch of the app so it was great to break free of the shackles of Useful HQ and actually do a bit of manual labour. Having David there was a blast, but it was nice chatting to the other girls as well, learning bits and pieces about them (we even had a Rockingham local in the group!) and getting on with it.

The girls who were at Cleaning Crusade have all joined up to be Unterns this summer, a project I'm really excited to see take shape. They were all lovely girls as well so they will be fantastic ambassadors for all things BHM and hopefully I'll have a brand new project to share him which will introduce them a bit further.
