Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Christine Siu
Where are the scotch pancakes, instant mash potato and baby wipes? Never had I known the variety of canned soup, frozen meals or shower gel, until I started volunteering here. While shopping at a supermarket might not be the most rigorous physical workout, it is always a good brain teaser! This morning the sun was out with a warm breeze. It was delightful to walk from my home to the supermarket. (I didn't run as I just had breakfast.) I was greeted by AgeUK coordinator Terry upon arrival, and off I went to my first trolley/ order of the day. Over the course of 2 hours, I completed 4 trolleys of shopping taking me to all corners of Tesco picking up items not usually on my own shopping list. It was fun as always and I was pleased to see and chat with Lily, another GoodGym volunteer!
