Not letting the rather grim weather forecast put us off, 4 Goodgymmers made their way to Foodcycle in Parson's Cross to help them spread the word about their fantastic project in the local area. We were rewarded with a stop in the rain for the duration!

We met with Mathew from Foodcycle, who made the referral after having a great response when GoodGym Leeds did some leafleting for a local project . Foodcycle offers a free weekly communal meal to any who wants it, made from fareshare food. To be sustainable, it needs enough guests and enough volunteers.

We took a stack of leaflets each and worked our way around the local streets. Amongst the barking dogs and occasional difficult access, we had some really positive interactions with locals who were keen to volunteer. We hope this is born out in future attendance!

Afterwards, we headed back to join for the delicious 3 Course vegetarian meal, whilst reflecting on a successful task, evangelising about GoodGym and plotting to come along and volunteer cooking and hosting another time.
