It might be a rainy day, but that didn't stop 17 GoodGymer's arriving at Norwich Foodbank.

Norwich foodbank supports local individuals and families through the provision of emergency food supplies. Nutritionally balanced emergency foodboxes can cover an individual or family’s basic needs for 72 hours: the critical time gap before other support services kick in.

Tonight there were a range of tasks. - Unpacking and organising cartons of milk, hot dogs & 'Savers' tomatoes into crakes. - Labelling and moving crates around the warehouse. - Checking dates and weighing items ready to be packed into food parcels.

Always a popular task, and great to see the 'before' and 'after' amounts achieved in an hour! Shout out to Robert for completing his first GoodGym session!

Good news - we will be returning again next month for more warehouse Jenga.

Eight Goodgymer's headed to Mousehold Heath, to support the Warden Will with clearing some areas of gorse. Pockets of gorse had started to take over as it had been thriving in the warmer winters, so this work supported habitat creation.

The weather was slightly blustery but it was a lovely autumn day to be helping on the heath. The session was also supported by two canine coaches Emmy and Tess who were there ensuring we did a good job.
