Shopping and prescription pickups

1 GoodGymer made their way to help their local community in Oxford.

Today was busy. The morning shopping run for an elderly neighbour took me to Headington by bike up the hill to get shopping and local newspapers. The referral wanted to donate some money to Oxford Hub so has done so via me (cash and then I've submitted the amount online today) as she was so thankful for the service.

The afternoon was a more local affair. A GoodGym prescription pickup for a self-isolating individual was combined with a food shop and prescription pickup for a young family nearby that I regularly help out. They were very thankful and the young girl specifically asked if she could say thank you and goodbye when I came to drop off the shopping. Very polite young lady.
