Southwark

Community mission

By George, we got it sorted.

3 GoodGymers made their way to help the Borough Food Cooperative in Southwark.

  • John Shirley
  • Tilly Baker Hine
  • Ivy

Tilly (Southwark GoodGym, ex-Camden) arrived by bike.

John (Tower Hamlets GoodGym, ex-Camden) ran.

Ivy (always Tower Hamlets) got a train from Scotland (the day before).

All three spent two hours helping the St George the Martyr foodbank in Borough. Ivy used most of her time separating tomatoes from their vine, assisted for a while by John. All three unloaded deliveries, opened packaging, unpacked filled shelves, sealed hot food packages and even helped make mince pies.

The volunteers were grateful as ever for our assistance, and no doubt there'll be more opportunities for GoodGymers to help.
