6 GoodGymers helped serve 100 meals to Westminster's homeless community.

A last minute change of plan allowed us for the first time in 6 years of helping Rhythms of Life to help them with their primary task as serve food to the homeless.

A trip to Charring Cross where we set up the tables and organised the service line under the watchful eye of the regular crew.

With a deep line we got to wirk habding out fruit, cold meals, hot meals, soup, bread, hot drinks and oversized pretzels.

An hour of serving and chatting with the service users everyone was good to go with a smile on their faces.

Thank you for helping out, see you again soon.

Today I met up with Bella for a mission to help Mr D in Islington. Mr D is housebound, and needed some help in collecting a food parcel from the local foodbank.

After greeting Bella at the foodbank, we chatted about food for a few minutes while waiting for the foodbank to open (I have a long list of dessert places to visit 😁).

There was a slight hiccup after the foodbank opened, as Mr D had not been given a physical voucher for collecting his parcel. However, after we made a couple of phonecalls to Mr D to clarify the exact spelling of his surname, the helpful volunteers were able to retrieve both his voucher and his collection for us 😊

A previous GoodGym runner had estimated the total food at around 45kg. I would not disagree with this assessment! Luckily, Mr D was only a 10 minute or so walk away, so we only sweated a small bucketful as we made our way to his. Mr D and his partner were both very grateful for our efforts :)

Having worked up an appetite, Bella and I beat a hasty retreat to Pophams, as I took the opportunity to cross the bakery off my dessert list 😋

It was fun working with you, Bella. Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend!
