Community mission

Let’s stack about it, if it’s pallet-able

Just me from GoodGym this afternoon at the Felix Project, and it was a busy one because of the holiday period.

A brief briefing and I was let loose in the warehouse picking and safely stacking bulk food onto pallets that would otherwise have gone to waste-to be distributed to multiple organisations around the city to ensure people who need it have food to eat.

Enormo swedes, tinned tomatoes, oat milk and miscellaneous vegetables were the order of the day.

In the GoodGym tradition, it was hard work but fun and after a master class in pallet truck manoeuvres and wrapping up pallets for safe delivery, 2.5 hours had passed and I jogged on home (and jumped on a bus half way!)

Lucky enough to be the Area Activator for Tower Hamlets. Personal trainer. Seriously sweet tooth.
