Four GoodGymmers had a lovely time delivering 34 pizzas 🍕 to QA hospital on behalf of the charity Sophie’s Legacy. Thank you to nurse Grace 👩‍⚕️ for escorting us.

We missed Katie and her van 🚐 tonight! The pizzas and trolley didn’t all fit in the boot, so Jane had to hold on to some on the back seat, thanks to Lisa for the photo and run report pun! 🤣

Pizzas delivered and children and parents were very happy to receive them.

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. 😊👏

Six Good Gymmers attended the All Saints Foodbank today. After making up lots a crates in preparation we were asked to test a new change to the process to help reduce the number of swaps and returns that happen each week. Instead of standard crates, the foodbank customers were asked to state their preferences against a set list, this resulted in some logistical issues out back in the store cupboard but we gradually got into the flow!

Out front, Lucy covered the weigh-in desk and sorted out some tech issues with the weighing machine, and Fiona was on the front desk. Pat was on the teas and coffees.
