19 GoodGymers ran 7.5k to help One Big Family helping the homeless charity in Victoria.
Great to have you all along this evening for a fun filled Wednesday run in Westminster!
Weaving a steady 3.5 route South through the bustle of Central London life down to the Ebury Estate in Victoria.
Meeting Mike who set us up with our job for the evening. With more and more being asked of the small Charity, resources are coming in and going out at a crazy rate!
All the clothing we sorted 4 short weeks ago that filled a storage shed have been donated to Westminster’s homeless and vulnerable. It was time for the next influx on donations to come in. But before we could do that space was needed!!
With a flat on the Estate being vacated on Saturday the contents are being donated to the charity so they can give to needing individuals and families.
We had to play Tetris wars cramming 3 storage sheds into 2! Piling boxes and boxes of nappies, bedding, tables and anything else needed while separating the baby food out to be taken to a family day centre on Friday.
35 minutes flashed by and we had successfully completed the task! Allowing vital help to be given in terms of donations to Westminster’s most in need. And clearing the decks so that the now 4 times a week Homeless food run in Victoria to take place smoothly.
Adding a bit of pace into the run on the way back we zipped up to Buckingham Palace before summoning our efforts for speedy dash up the Green Park drag!
Thanks for all your hard work, see you next week for our trip to the Canal and River Trust to maintain our adopted piece of Little Venice Canal.
Have a great week!

Xavier Yau completed their first run in a new area.
Curious? Xavier has just run their first session in another area. For that explorative spirit Xavier is awarded the scout badge. A Scout is trustworthy

16 wonderful GoodGymers ran 7-10k to give 300 food treats and winter essentials to Westminster’s homeless!
A freezing evening in Westminster meant our task was even more important!! After splitting up and getting the amazing and so kind donations ready in the warmth of the New Balance shop we headed out to try to brighten the bitterly cold evenings of as many of Westminster’s Homeless community as possible!
Running a huge Central London loop with added extra distance for those that wanted. Reaching out to the homeless in Mayfair, Green Park, Victoria, St James, Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus. Delivering a little cheer with a cereal bar, fruit, socks, chocolate and toiletries.
Working up an amazing distance covered for some of us the longest running distance we have ever done, huge well done and thanks!!
Hope you enjoyed it and saw the difference your efforts made!
See you next week
Joel
