Kevin and I took a gentle walk to Manorfield Primary and even found a new route to avoid Stratford High Street. Helen shouted hello as she rode past us on her way to the school. We arrived at the school to be greeted by Ryan, Hilary, Mel. Helen had taken a little detour but managed to find us. As we headed into the school,all strictly observing social distancing rules Graham joined us.

Paul advises us that today we didn’t need to deliver the food as in addition to the meals the families receive a food box so BikeworksUK would complete the deliveries today. Éamonn was helping to get the food ready for delivery.

Paul told us that The toy project had donated some toys and the teachers had decided which children should receive a gift. As we worked out where we needed to go Charlotte, Rosa, Callum arrived, Callum had brought Jen along to help out.

With parcels in hand we set off to deliver some happiness.

We all arrived back at the school and Paul asked if we could help transfer some plants that had been donated,he plans to place them all around the school and has even placed some round the trees close to the school,obviously being Goodgym we love and bit of gardening.

A brilliant way to spend a Friday afternoon.
