Biblical weather by the Tyne could not dampen our brilliant Wednesday visit to help out at East End Women foodbank!

I arrived first to find yet again regular foodbank staff (and complete angels) Sarah and Fiona had already prepared five sets of deliveries ready to be packed into vans. I tasked regular GGer Max to be the car packer today while I grumble through a shonky knee.

New GG runner Sara arrived just after we had started and happily got straight into packing bags- they needed us to make a strong start ahead of 81 food parcel collections tomorrow. Sara is a student in Newcastle and can't wait for GoodGym to get back to Group Running so she can get to know the wider group.

As always we battled through the rain, only dampening a few bags of groceries and definitely not our enthusiasm.

There are two visits booked in for next week so get involved if you can. You won't courgette it!
