Three GoodGym volunteers joined the VGCC crew, unpacking deliveries, sorting donations, and getting the foodbank ship-shape before the 12pm opening. With plenty of can-do spirit, we helped keep the shelves stocked, the crates moving, and the food ready to roll for foodbank users to choose from during the session. 📦🥫

Today, we served over 100 customers, ensuring everyone received something. No one left empty-handed.

Today's Felix Project delivery was a bit lighter than usual, but there was still plenty to keep everyone busy. Two GoodGym volunteers joined the VGCC team to unpack, sort and organise everything ready for Friday's food bank session from 12pm to 2pm. With less food to shift, there was more time for a chat and a laugh while getting everything in order. Thanks to everyone who mucked in. We're all set and ready to welcome the community on Friday.

Delivery was not much, but I managed to sort it out for Friday handout.

What a session, Lambeth! 💪🏼
We linked back up with Tom from Lambeth Council to give Windrush Square and the area around Brixton Library some serious TLC — sweeping, weeding, and tidying our way to a cleaner, greener corner of Brixton. Turns out you can build glutes and community spirit at the same time. Who knew?
On the tools tonight:

Big love to this crew for trading their evening jog for a broom and a bin bag — proof that GoodGym really is where "leg day" meets "litter day" 🍾🥰
Windrush Square is looking sharper than our running form, and Brixton Library's front bed is finally weed-free (unlike our group chat, which remains a mess (jokes!)). 😱🤩
Same time next week, legends? See you on the streets — bring trainers, bring gloves, leave your excuses at home. 🏃♀️🧡

Distribution runs from 12 to 3pm, and we really need volunteers who can stay for the whole slot to keep things running smoothly. Our solo GoodGym volunteer stepped in today and took on bread duty like a pro, handing out loaves with plenty of appreciative comments from food bank users — from “No seeded bread today?” to “I can’t take the bread, I’ve got no butter” and the ever‑present “Is it in date.” It’s amazing what you hear when carbs take centre stage.
