It was great to be back helping out at the East End Women food bank. It was a few months since I had been and every time I visit to help, it seems to grow so much in size and amazing organisation/co-ordination.

It was lovely to have some warmer weather finally (I have Brittle Bones, so icy weather and snow doesn't go very well together!) It was a relief that it was lovely and sunny and so I cycled across from Gateshead along the Tyne.

It was a great afternoon with Anji and Sara also helping. Myself and Sara helped with carrying bags out to the drivers, ready to be delivered. We also helped to organise and tidy up lots of tins and packaging.

Anji was busy with packing up different fruits and vegetables, so that they were ready for delivery and I joined in towards the end to lend a hand.
