13 GoodGymers welcomed some wonderful good deeding into Camden this Wednesday!
It was the day of the ice. When Londoners slipped and slided. And most (sensible) folk tried to stay inside...
...but this wonderful group bucked that trend!
Charlie, Hassaan (on their first good deed — welcome!), Helen, Jack, Jackie, John, Kareem, Loz, Lydia, Rohan (on their first Camden good deed — welcome!), Steve, and Tam turned up ready and willing to be outside and active :)
After some meeting and greeting and a swift group warm up, we split into two groups to get moving with our task for the evening.
FoodCycle are a special charity. They use donated and throw-out food to make FREE community meals each and every week. They're a lifeline for many and a community for more.
We were out spreading the word for their weekly meal in Camden. A huge pile of leaflets awaited us. And with them in hand...
...off we went!
One group stayed local and targeted estates around Somers Town, and one group went a little further and targeted roads in the southern tip of Kentish Town :)
By the end we had delivered over 700 flyers and enjoyed some lovely connection and conversation!
Thank you, everyone! Here's to next time!
This task supported
Volunteers take surplus food from retailers and transform this into a weekly, three-course meal for all the community.
Teams rescue surplus food from retailers and turn this in to a tasty meal in various locations around the country each week. Our aims are to reduce food waste and to bring people together reducing social isolation and food poverty. Free to eat, no registration required!
