On Friday evening, two Goodgym cyclists (including a first attendance from Olivia- welcome!) arrived at the Ringcross Community Centre Foodbank ready to deliver vital bags of shopping and supplies to the local community. These donations had been prepared in advance by volunteers at the Pilion Trust (http://piliontrust.info/) ready for our trips across the borough.

After a small delay caused by a cargo bike puncture, Trainer Simon and Olivia successfully delivered 8 full crates of shopping to households in Archway, Holloway, Newington Green and Islington. The recipients were thrilled with the support provided by Goodgym and the Ringcross Community Centre.

If you would like to join us, we will continue to run this service every Friday from 4pm. Just bring your bike!
