18 Eager GoodGymers ran 7k to help One Big Family helping the homeless charity in Victoria make the food for the evenings homeless food stall.

Bouncing out of the door we zipped 3k through the Central London foot traffic navigating a very import looking event at Liz’s house. Weaving south to the Ebury Estate where we me the One Big Family crew!!

With lots of jobs to do we split up and got to work!

Carrying baby food, salad pots out to the car for another homeless charity who were taking the excess food donations. Making a few loaves of very interesting filling combination sandwiches (hummus and tuna anyone??). Bagging up some delicious looking pastries and filling up 4 huge urns for hot drinks.

While outside we loaded food into the store sheds, ordered the 3 sheds for a few collections in the morning.

With the car full we went into overdrive and to save space we emptied 300 salad pots into 4 big containers so all the food could be transported.

With our work at the lodge done we grabbed the 2 fully loaded trolleys and ran them the 1.5k to the distribution point near to Victoria Station.

With the extra job in the bag we were behind schedule so we put our feet down and ran fast back to base!!

Sorry for the late finish but our efforts made a massive difference this evening!! Thanks for coming along and all your hard work!

Next week we are off to Little Venice to look after our adopted stretch of river!!

The 21st of November sees the epic GG/ St Andrews Games 3!! We need all your help to take on the energetic kids of St Andrews in a range of games to have a little fun after all our volunteering efforts over the year!

Have a great week

Smooth Running
