Great to meet Hamza for your first GoodGym Manchester session 👏
This evening, we met up outside the Whitworth Art Gallery for a light jog towards Longsight - the 422 Community Hub - with a rucksack full of food donations to give to their community pantry. This included UHT milk 🥛 tins of beans 🫘 tinned fish 🐟 tinned meat 🍖 rice pudding, coffee ☕️ and tinned fruit.
After passing onto reception, we used a couple of the litter pickers from the CleanUp UK box to do a litterpick of the surrounding streets. After a loop of the building, we headed down Birch Lane, only to discover a fly tipping litter grotspot that took most of our attention. We collected 8 refuse sacks plus 2 sacks containing 18 laughing gas canisters! 🚮
All rubbish was collated and reported to the council and Keep MCR Tidy for collection.
422 Community Hub is a project of Manchester Vineyard, a local church and charity who in 2020-2021, through generous donations, grants and volunteer labour transformed a derelict former youth centre into a thriving Community Hub.
