Fishing for mackerel ๐ŸŽฃ

Friday 12th December

Written by Gosia Rybacka

I have supported Ms S today with shopping this morning ๐Ÿ›’. I did need to call her to understand how to get to the front door. She beautifully guided me through the phone and then buzzed me in.

Ms S had a shopping list ready ๐Ÿ“ as well as the cash ๐Ÿ’ฐ. She asked me to read the items out loud to make sure all checks out. All was nice and clear so it didn't take long for me to start my journey to the shop.

Ms S wanted me to go specifically to Waitrose which was around 25 mins from her place. I had a really nice morning walk!

I was able to purchase all items and l was lucky to have a list that the descriptions were really precise ๐Ÿ‘Œ. It was a Fish Friday today so we scored some good discount on a couple of mackerels.

I was back at Ms S's house around 10:20. I have taken out the shopping from the bag and also helped Ms S open the milk ๐Ÿฅ› and kefir before I left.

I put two bags behind a radiator on the ground floor as it's apparently a typical place where these are kept for those supporting Ms S with the shopping in the future.

Caught bread-handed

Tuesday 9th December

Written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

It was a night of celebrations in Westminster last night - not only did we pick up two very successful hauls of bread, rolls, sandwiches and pastries that would otherwise be thrown away but it was also...

Sam's 1500th good deed!

Huge congratulations Sam - from sorting and stacking at foodbanks, packing clothes for rough sleepers and volunteering at junior parkrun, Sam has created a huge positive impact by doing good in Southwark and beyond. Well done Sam, you've spread a lot of happ-bee-ness!

Andy, Sam and walked through the Christmas crowds carefully balancing our bags of goodies trying to locate the Under One Sky Team on their weekly walk to support vulnerable people in central London. This charity provides essentials to rough sleepers, not only good food that would otherwise be wasted, bu hot drinks, resources and support. It was great to see their vital work in action.

Youโ€™re corgi-ally invited

Saturday 6th December

Written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

As well as doing a whole lot of good, GoodGym runs never fail to throw up some surprises! Saturday's litter picking session was no exception. Throughout the morning, Andy and I came across a 200-strong horse drawn cart parade, a convention of corgis in Christmas jumpers in Hyde Park, a very rare English bulldog and a mystery package in Little Venice. We also collected two huge bin bags of plastic bottles and other waste, made friends with some German tourists and spotted the parakeets in the park. A morning well spent!
