Once a month we support St Philip’s Church in Odd Down, Bath as it lays on a meal for people who would otherwise be on their own. “One-2-one” combats loneliness and isolation and brings the community together. GoodGym hand delivers roast dinners to those who can no longer make it to the church.

Last Sunday we had an extra delivery - one of the guests had to stay home because of Covid. It took me right back to the pandemic when the monthly meal was cancelled. Instead, the church came up with the idea of “Roasts on the Road” - delivering dinners to everyone stuck at home. GoodGym Bath turned up every month providing a takeaway service and a bit of culinary joy in a time of darkness.

The church no longer needs to send out scores of dinners across the community but really appreciates our help with those it does deliver. This month, five vulnerable people had a hot dinner (roast beef and jelly). It not only filled them up but made them feel cared for.
