On Tuesday evening, Area Activator Simon returned to Elizabeth House Food Hub for our second Easter Holiday delivery evening, and was joined by a top crew of local Goodgymmers!

Milly, Giovanna, Elena, Esme and Alistair met with Roshni and Nathalie, the lovely donation and volunteer coordinators at this busy project, and were given addresses and locations to take our pre-prepared bags of supplies and shopping to. Most local residents who use the Elizabeth House services will come over to pick up their bags in person (and to enjoy a chat and a cuppa with the friendly volunteers- which is just as important!), but our objective is to deliver the bags to residents who are unable to make the trip.

Between us, we successfully carried at least 20 large bags of shopping across the Islington and Arsenal borough. We will be back with more delivery tasks for half term, and throughout the Summer Holiday!
