We were delighted to be back helping East Bristol Foodbank this evening and especially to help them with creating their Christmas packs which are getting delivered from tomorrow. Nathalie, Sarah, Russ and I started in our exam style (or book signing?!) two metres apart desks. Each of us were given 25 Christmas cards to write, which would later be given with the Christmas packs to each family.

Meanwhile, Mel was given some tricky boxes to review and make sure they had the correct ingredients (chicken stock is not halal, for anyone wondering). Having finished in no time (we reckon he must have just scribbled in them all), Russ joined Mel and got started with some packs maths problems, with the important job of making sure there were always the right amount of selection boxes for every child in each family.

40 minutes later (and Mel's keys lost then found), we had finished all of Andy's list of jobs for the evening ready for the packs to start being distributed tomorrow. Great work!
