It was our first time at junior parkrun. We enjoyed the park , and it was such a pleasure to see all those assorted children in the fresh air , trying hard and enjoying themselves .

It was lovely to have Pat and Rob to visit at Eastney junior parkrun, which I believe is their first GoodGym task away from the Food Bank. As you can see from Pat's quote above, it was a lovely morning supporting the next generation of runners.

Mascot Albie and mini-GoodGymer Alice were both a little bonkers and not quite sure what to do with themselves, whereas little Aida certainly kept Aoife in check as tailwalker!

Also boosting our numbers today was Rob, our longest serving Run Director, who has only recently informed me he is also registered with GoodGym. He and Duncan made a great team as timekeeper and funnel manager!

Another busy session at the foodbank. The new systems seem to be settling in and there were no dramas today!

It was a busy morning at the food bank today with less than 10 volunteers. 😱🤯

Lisa and Yvonne were the only helpers out back making up food parcels. 🥫📦 There’s a new system where customers can choose what they would like, which is supposed to avoid swaps, but doesn’t! 🙄 It takes much longer to make up orders, so still needs some work.

Pat was one of 2 helpers on the cafe 🍰 ☕after someone had a strop and went home.😾 Fiona did a great job today running the show, keeping morale up and greeting everyone on the door. 😊👏

Chairs stacked, tables cleaned, dishes washed and all put away

The cafe was serving vegi chilli today and it was warmly received by many. Fifty five folks got food in 22 parcels. Busy but calm as Goodgym Smashed out the parcels, weighed them in and out and made sure they got to the right person

A clean sweep ready for the next users
