Tonight we epitomised the "do good get fit" hashtag!

We met at Fratton CC then ran and cycled to the Package Free Larder on Elm Grove where we were met by our walking team and Clare from Share Portsmouth.

We then formed a human chain from the basement to the back door to move all the donations to Share from their store into the van (shout out to FoodCycle for the van loan!). Jo (aka Captain Detail) took charge of the van loading / life size Tetris and managed to fit everything into the back.

It was then a race as to who would get to the Cascades first... van vs human, the humans won!

We then formed another human chain and passed everything in to the store room where Val and Judy ably sorted them onto shelves in a logical order.

There was an amazing amount of stuff passes down the line including tents, baby stuff, bread maker, pasta makers, tools, lawn mowers, Flamingo Ringo.... it was like an episode of the Generation Game.

10 out of 10 tonight for a classic GoodGym task!
