Many hands....
3 GoodGymers made their way to help their local community in Redbridge.
- Saturday, 30th of May 2020
- Led by Peter Van Tongeren
Due to schools restarting again (somewhat) the Mutual Aid food bank at Prospect Hall needed to find a new location - Ray Lodge Church kindly offered their space.
So all the bits and pieces needed moving across today. Cue a team of local residents and a couple of GG Redbridge regulars to pack up everything in Prospect Hall, move it across, unpack all the packs & tins & boxes & bags and clean up Prospect Hall.
In the mean time, normal donation hour was happening as if nothing changed!
To top it off, Linda & Jenny rounded off the busy morning by guiding a slightly confused elderly dog walker safely back to her home ! Modest as they are, they probably didn't even consider it another GG good deed - give them a cheer for it anyway!

That sweet lady was more of a mission than the mission! As she was looking decidedly unwell when we turned the corner we called another GG Regular Sharon Graham for vehicle assistance. When we got to the door number she gave us she didn’t recognise it and didn’t have a key! Luckily the neighbour knew her and had the code to her key box. He took over from there.
Don't forget Linda and Jenny you did a bit of dog walking with Archie who seemed to know exactly which door it was before the lady.
