Roberta and Steph Ducat on to the cleaning shift, joined by a new comer to Goodgym but not unknown as it was Jacquie from Lager Can who we volunteer on other tasks in Ealing. Then we have another fairy 🧚‍♂️ who came along and who has been alone on some tasks at ESK : The Fairies 🧚‍♀️ Emmanuella the whole space with other volunteers and we all left with a spotless Church crypt. The cleaning Fairies exist ..today they were wearing Goodgym tops.

It is a bit lonely when no other Good Gymmers are around, but there are so many good people at Ealing Soup Kitchen to help that it never feels too lonely. Stuck at the kitchen this time. A bit of mess when I arrived around 3 pm. Sparkling clean when I left. A miracle is happening at this place every Friday🪄

Not only Stephan was back full power at ESK this Friday, but we had the honour of a guest star Div(y)a from "The Shinning" (those who witnessed the demolition of the green house at Berrymede school will understand...). Both of them were helping there all day, as I only arrived at the end 🤫. With their help and the help of a few more nice people another day of giving was completed with the least possible waste (sometimes, no matter how hard you try, people refuse to take home a basket of rice or vegetables!!! Why???).

The old fellows are missed but somehow there are always people that help in the crypt of St John's church. It is like magic🪄 The cleaning/tiding work was done to perfection as always. Some food will be frozen for next week and everything else that remained after the clients left was packed into old containers that came handy once more. Nothing went wasted.

At the end of the day what matters is how much love we gave and felt. And ESK is a place where you can feel that at any time of the day and I always feel that at the end of the day. Love for people that need your help, love for each other, love for the place and for our planet. This is one of the many gifts Good Gym is giving not only to those we serve, but to ourselves too.

Not many pictures again, sorry. Next week Stephan is back and he will upgrade the report with his great selfies😉
