Who this task will support
YMCA - Brighton
We have prevented homelessness in Brighton and Hove for over 150 years. We support our clients on a pathway towards fulfilled and empowered living, across housing and support services. Many young people have never known these things; other people have lost one or more as they grew up, but we all need them. All of us. At YMCA, we provide these critical foundations for a fresh, strong start for young people and a better quality of life in the community.

Do good - Feel good is Olio's charity mission, similar to GoodGym "Do Good - Get Fit" . Do Good - Reduce food waste, fight climate change, and help out a neighbour. Feel Good - Save unsold food by sharing it with who need to feed their bellies, feel good and improve the mental health.

This is a community mission we will do this evening in parallel with our group run supporting YMCA by collecting unsold food from Pret this evening and sharing it on Olio - please download the App https://olioapp.com/en/ and, if so you wish, to help out Olio Food Waste Hero Stefania, your Area Activator :-)

We will collect unsold food from Pret, East Street, group with the other GoodGymers at our mtg point in Victoria Gardens, and deliver the food to YMCA Stanley Court, where were will distribute it to their residents, after uploading the listings on Olio App (according to Olio Terms).

Happy Olio-ing with GoodGym!
