We managed to sort some deliveries for this coming Friday for our clients, which was not much, but hopefully will be enough.

Another scorcher, another squad of good eggs trading the sofa for a sweat sesh with a purpose! This week the Lambeth crew rolled back into Wyck Forest Gardens to reunite with the legend that is Heather, on a mission critical, code-red, hosepipe-adjacent task: watering 🥵💦

Turns out the recent heat has had the garden gasping worse than us after the run over — and the young whips (the apple, pear and friends contingent 🍏🍐) were in serious need of some TLC before they wilted into fruit salad prematurely.

On the team sheet today: Adam West, Ark , Ben , Katie , Michael , Rich and Yianny — seven brilliant humans who showed up to sweat first, hydrate plants second 💪🏼

The mission, soggily accomplished:

• 🛒 Two full trolley runs — basically a shopping spree, except instead of snacks we were hauling watering cans
• 🐘 One epic showdown with the 120kg water beast — if you know, you know. Respect to Rich who wheeled that unit without needing their own rehydration break afterwards
• 🧰 A generous helping of compost TLC, because even dirt deserves a little love ❤️

Whips watered, trolleys wrangled, water beast tamed — Wyck Forest Gardens is looking noticeably less crispy thanks to this lot. Heather, we’ll see you again soon (bring backup water beasts) 🥵🌱

Huge thanks to everyone who turned out — you ran so the young whips didn’t have to wilt. Same time next week? 😊🍾

Three GoodGym volunteers joined the VGCC crew, unpacking deliveries, sorting donations, and getting the foodbank ship-shape before the 12pm opening. With plenty of can-do spirit, we helped keep the shelves stocked, the crates moving, and the food ready to roll for foodbank users to choose from during the session. 📦🥫

Today, we served over 100 customers, ensuring everyone received something. No one left empty-handed.

Today's Felix Project delivery was a bit lighter than usual, but there was still plenty to keep everyone busy. Two GoodGym volunteers joined the VGCC team to unpack, sort and organise everything ready for Friday's food bank session from 12pm to 2pm. With less food to shift, there was more time for a chat and a laugh while getting everything in order. Thanks to everyone who mucked in. We're all set and ready to welcome the community on Friday.

Delivery was not much, but I managed to sort it out for Friday handout.
