I started this mission by trying to locate a bus stop (it was suppose to be a run or walk... but long story).
I made my way to Kingston Gate Church to help the other volunteers move Bright Boxes.
Bright boxes are a fab idea! They are boxes which provide ingredients and recipes to local families, to enable them to cook healthy meals. They get a nutritionist seal of approval from me!
On arrival I provided with hand sanitiser and a thermometer. Hand sanitised and a temperature of 36.4 °C, I was then able to get stuck in!
I helped move some of the boxes and got stuck in with making up empty boxes for next weeks boxes (and chatted away...).
I really enjoyed being involved in this, we had a great production line going and I look forward to returning in the future!

To restore and rebuild hope in individuals, improving their physical and mental health through undertaking community-based projects.
Voices of Hope is a locally founded charity in Kingston Upon Thames with a focused reach into SW London. We are dedicated to bringing hope to individuals and the wider community, improving physical and mental health through community-based projects. We work with people struggling with complex physical and/or mental health issues, families experiencing food insecurity, women who have experienced abuse/domestic violence, and the elderly. We see those we reach as people who need support, encouragement and empowerment – not as problems which need solving.
