On a bright and sunny afternoon, a small crew of GoodGymers gathered at Whitechapel Station for the second instalment of our borough-wide leafleting mission, this time taking on the streets of Whitechapel.
With a route mapped out and flyers in hand, we set off on foot, weaving through a maze of backstreets that many of us had never explored before. Each turn seemed to reveal a different side of the area, from quiet residential corners to bustling community hubs, reminding us just how much there is to discover right on our doorstep.
The leafleting itself was a bit of a mixed bag. Some spots were unfortunately closed, while others turned into mini treasure hunts as we searched, sometimes in vain, for elusive letterboxes. Still, persistence paid off and we managed to get the word out in plenty of places along the way.
Pet spotting was notably down on the previous outing but the sunshine and good company more than made up for it. And, as ever, where leaflets could not be delivered, notes were taken for follow up.
We wrapped things up back near Whitechapel with a well earned pub cooldown, celebrating a job well done.
Join us next time around Stepney and Limehouse.
