3 Goodgymmers from Camden and Islington joined us for our session at The Angel Church, just off Sadler's Wells last night. This is currently the hub for the People's Army, a very busy enterprise offering supplies and ready prepared meals for the local community. They are an impressive operation, arranging kitchen volunteers to make hot meals most mornings throughout the week, and then finding more assistants to help with distributing these meals across the neighbourhood.

AA Simon and John chose to walk to their arranged drop off locations (often residential homes or family households), while Ernestas was able to cycle to his designated spot with a large bag of cans and shopping on his back.

Excellent work everyone! The People's Army will be seeking volunteers every Monday at 5pm from now on, so please feel free to sign up here if you would like to get involved:
