Neill helped out at Riverbank by preparing ground for planting and planting over 200 bluebell bulbs. In April the children will enjoy a carpet of blue.

We had a team of 9 GoodGymers at FoodCycle tonight, which was great as they were very short of volunteers. Lucie and Gill had been preparing the meal including peeling and slicing bags and bags of shallots for the French Onion Soup, as well as making a delicious lentil and mushroom bake. The rest of our team were hosting, and Teklay was stuck in at the sink on Potwasher duties. Well done to everyone who worked well to make sure the evening went smoothly.

There was a great turn out from GoodGym at FoodCycle today. With four of us in the cooking team and three in the hosting team this evening we served 42 guests plus 8 takeaways . It was great team work and effort from everyone as always. Thank you everyone for making people around happy 😊 On today’s menu was: Starter Crushed potato with cheesy dip Main Spaghetti 🍝 bolognese

Dessert Gills heavenly Queen of pudding (set custard , fruit , meringue)

It's Tuesday evening, and as always we had a team of GoodGymers heping at FoodCycle. Gill was leading in the kitchen while the others set up the tablea, greeted the guests, and served them with a delicious three course meal. Abdulrahman demonstrated his versatility by jumping from the hosting team into the kitchen team as we were shirt handed and needed some help with plating up. It was another succeaful meal and all cleaned up in record timing.

We spent a beautiful day serving hot meals and sweets to people in need in this very cold weather. I hope we were able to put smiles on their faces. ☺️💐💙 Abdulrahman

It was a busy evening as FoodCycle were very short of volunteers, so it was great that so many GoodGymers turned out for the first FoodCycle meal of the New Year. Gill had been on food collection last week, and turned up early to unlock the church and start weighing some of the produce. She was then the project leader in the kitchen and supported the other volunteers in creating a delicious three course meal, including her cho chip pudding with hot chocolate sauce.

Another first for the day was Teklay, who, as a newer member of GoodGym made his debut at FoodCycle. He was soon allocated the role of potwasher, which he embraced wothout complainnt and was soon elbow deep in the sink, washing and drying pots, pans and dishes. Abdulrahman, Neill and Susannah then joined the hosting team. Susannah was a fabulous Maître D, welcoming the guests and providing them with a tiket for their goody bag. Neill and Abdulrahman completed the setup of the hall, were great waiting staff and did a brilliant job of tidying up at the end of the meal. We served over 40 meals and as Abdulrahman said, put a smile on all uor guests faces. Gill
