Re:dish is a charity that aims to improve the lives of everybody in Reddish. Amongst other things, they aim to:

*Improve the lives of all people in Reddish; *Identify and reduce food poverty by providing no-cost and low-cost food, by using local *expertise to encourage healthy nutrition and by teaching the growing and cooking of fresh food; *Identify and reduce individual isolation by reconnecting people to networks of help and support; *Encourage the whole community to work together across age and culture barriers, sharing knowledge and skills

They are in the process of setting up a community supermarket at their Reddish hub and needed extra hands to help to paint the area.

Cue a bunch of red faced, red top wearing runners!

After a tour of the site, we got to work painting high and low - raises and squats and worked up a sweat!

Ready for round two next week!
