Meals on Wheels

The West Indian Community Association have been working hard throughout the pandemic to provide hot meals for those who need them, twice a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays). These are delivered by volunteers, using their own cars.

Today, Gwyn and Tracey joined the team, and delivered a batch of meals to some very grateful and cheerful people.

Needing to drive for the task, in order to ensure that the meals arrived intact and still hot, there wasn't much of an opportunity to combine exercise with the mission, but Tracey found a way - she abandoned Gwyn in town and made him walk home!!!

The volunteers at the Community Association were extremely welcoming, and we loved the colourful flags their walls are adorned with. They're responsible for the annual Derby Caribbean Carnival too, which looks even more colourful!

Thanks to Rachel for introducing us to this wonderful community, and also many thanks to the volunteers at WICA for making us so welcome; we're looking forward to another session.

PS Leaving Gwyn in town was pre-planned, and having dropped off the car at home, I walked/ran back to meet him part way, and we strolled the final leg of the journey home together.
