CAN-Do Attitude

A great turnout tonight saw 19 lovely people get together in Bournemouth wanting to do good and feel good as a result!

We had lots of lovely new faces Seun and Sophie came along to their first group run and we hope they come to many more. They did a great job making up food parcels for families.

We also welcomed back Chloe who brought her friend along Cassandre, who is visiting from France. They were also part of the food parcel team, along with Georgie who was also down for her first group run after often having it clash with her work. Hope you guys enjoyed it and will come back again soon.

Clarice was a long time follower and was finally able to come along and be a doer and show off her GoodGym t-shirt! You all did great and mixed in so well with the regulars!

We took a slightly scenic route to the Foodbank to get in a couple of hills and photo opportunities too. Along the overcliff with wide ranging views of the coastline...pretty special place we live in. After a couple of pit stops to allow the group to gather together again we set off in a large blur of red....probably scaring a lot of people...but we did look very impressive too!

When we arrived Alex let us know that we had a few jobs to take care of. Sophie, Seun, Georgie, John, Sarah, Chloe, Cassandre and Fredrika were looking after the food parcels. These are made up for single people and up to families of 5. Meal combinations to last them around 4 days or so. The gang managed to make up 9 of them! Awesome work! The parcels will go out tomorrow to families in crisis.

Another team of Chris, Caprice, Grace, Claire, Daryl, Phil and Sarah were tasked with shifting boxes full of food ready to be collected. After they were done with their job...which they obviously finished quickly because they are super hard working...they helped Mark, Andrea, Clarice, Jodie and myself break down cardboard boxes ready to be taken to recycling and also sorted through some more food donations too.

After a 35 minute blitz the gang managed to finish off all their jobs and even have time to pose on stage like true superstars!

We went the more direct route home and some still had enough energy in the tank to sprint up the the steep hill to the meeting location at Flirt Cafe! After a stretch and a team talk we all set off home...

Great work everyone!!! Alex loves you guys and is always super grateful for all that you do!

Thank you Chris for backmarking, great to see you again! Hope you're travels to South America are epic!! Look forward to hearing about it when you're back!

Next week we are helping out a charity called Creative Kids, move from one unit to another. Come along!
