Final good deed of 2022 in the (Food) Bank!

Five frolicking Goodgymmers made it to the Rukhsana Khan Foundation this morning to work off some of the festive excesses by organising and packing groceries for 115 households in our local community. As always, there was much lifting and carrying, fetching and packing, along with some lovely chat, lots of smiles and just the right amount of merriment to keep spirits up while everyone worked hard. RKF continues to do a phenomenal job ensuring that people in our community who need a bit of help don’t go without. A morning with the incredible team there always does wonders for mind, body and soul, and makes us count our blessings, not only for everything we have, but also for the fantastic people we’re surrounded by, here in Walthstamstow. An excellent task, of course, and, as ever, quite the workout! Very well done to all who came to help, drawing this year – dominated by headlines recounting division, disparity and disconnection – to a close in a spirit of determination, togetherness and community, proving (if proof were needed) that we are, of course, stronger and better together. What could be more perfect? May 2023 bring you all health, happiness, love and laughter!
