'I love chicken, I'll enjoy eating it today!' Mrs N beamed when she picked up the hot meals at her front door. I collected two boxes of chicken in tomato sauce with baked potates and baguette from a local soup kitchen where most clients stood patiently outside waiting for it to be opened to collect free meals.

There were over 20 people ahead of me, which proved how popular this charitable soup kitchen is.

Mrs N said the soup kitchen often put chicken on Friday's menu and it is one of her favourite food. Mrs N is not able to get out by herself and relied on helpers to deliver meals for her. Mrs N praised Goodgym has been very supportive over the years and she is ever so grateful.
