I had a fantastic time at The Felix Project. I learnt the ropes from Denis, a super friendly and supportive staff member. He helped me assemble my first food order before I moved on to helping others with theirs. The collaborative and friendly atmosphere, from staff to fellow volunteers, made this task both productive and enjoyable. And to add to how good I felt about giving time again, I (unexpectedly?!) got to do some strength training too! What a way to get back to GoodGym!

Moona, Holly and I helped Andrea distribute the boxes of clothes she'd been holding on for a while. Three students who were there to make a documentary also lent us a hand. Andrea seemed happy to get both logistical and moral support as she was anxiously awaited by a number of regulars and newcomers. It was difficult to make sure everyone got something that suited their needs but we did our very best, distributing smiles alongside clothes wenever we got a chance!

It was a lovely evening of moving compost around to help Cordwainers Grow with their community garden. Jen, Anne and I have managed to fill up a whole new container while fitting in a nice chat with Debbie. We're grateful for the fresh mint leaves we got as a thank you, and will make the most of them in herbal teas and mojitos!
