It was a mammoth session today at Ace of Clubs, a local organisation which supports vulnerable homeless people by providing hot food, showers, laundry, clothes and medical support.

What made it even better was that we had a few new faces - welcome to your first GoodGym session guys, it was lovely to meet you!

Jobs included putting together bundles of toiletries, packing the foodbank, serving hot food and sorting out the donations that were coming thick and fast from harvest festivals in the area. It started off steady, but before long we were packing up food like a well-oiled machine, including several hundred tins of beans! We even created a leaning tower of pasta - just don't mention that one crate of tomato sauce...oops!

Chef and manager Willem was 'speechless' at how much we managed to get done. 'Who needs to win the lottery when I have you guys,' he said. Well done team, what a difference you made on a Friday lunchtime!
