FoodCycle
Free community dining
The project runs every Monday afternoon from the Falcon Lodge community centre. We collect surplus food from supermarkets, this is then turned into a free 3 course meal available for anyone to attend. The project is volunteer led and we require volunteers to collect, cook & serve the meal. We are looking to recruit more volunteers from the Sutton Coldfield area that would be available on a Monday afternoon to help support project operations
3 GoodGymers have supported FoodCycle with 3 tasks.

Delivering Leaflets for FoodCycle
Saturday 15th October 2022
Written by Birmingham runner
This morning I delivered leaflets around the FoodCycle Dudley area to hopefully help to attract new volunteers to help with their operations and also promote their work.
It was a good morning, with nice weather and it got me up nice and early for an active start to the day.
Leaflets at the end of a rainbow

This evening 2 GoodGymer's delivered leaflets for FoodCycle around Sutton Coldfield.
Richard (joined by his lovely dogs, AC and Zeb) and myself met at Sutton Coldfield train station and headed over towards the B75 post code of Sutton Coldfield, which is around where Food Cycle's Falcon Lodge project is based: https://www.foodcycle.org.uk/location/birmingham-falcon-lodge/.
We continued with our leaflet distribution task. The leaflets were advertising the various voluntary roles that FoodCycle have and which are vital to keeping this project going.
Again, it was a great active task and we were able to distribute a lot of leaflets. Whilst it rained for part of the mission, a lovely rainbow 🌈 appeared, as shown in the photos 😊

Richard, Raull and myself met at Sutton Coldfield train station, with Richard also bringing along his two dogs, Zeb and AC, who were 8 years old today! 🐶 Happy Birthday and hopefully they had a pawsome time!
We delivered the leaflets around the B75 post code of Sutton Coldfield, which is around where Food Cycle's Falcon Lodge project is based: https://www.foodcycle.org.uk/location/birmingham-falcon-lodge/.
The leaflets were advertising the various voluntary roles that FoodCycle have and which are vital to keeping this project going.
It was a great active task and we were able to distribute roughly 300 or so leaflets. We had Richard to thank for his navigation and geographical skills and a big shout out to Raull for joining us before his shift at work, which was starting at 11pm. I forgot to get a group picture until after Raull had left, but managed to get one of Richard and me and then did my best to create a collage to include Raull too!
We look forward to delivering some further leaflets soon :)
