GoodGym Nottingham pooled its resources and turned up on cue to deal with an issue that had The Meadows Food Bank snookered (shoutout to Peter and Nigel for those epic puns).
Mark at the Food Bank had more heavy lifting for us to do, this time a giant, solid slate pool table that needed to be moved outside. It was no mean feat, but with Rachel's expertise from the theatre, we managed to get it from the main café out to the car park without so much as a scratch.
Next up was moving some pallets from one side of the car park to the other and getting them piled up neatly, and bringing a fridge out that had been taking up precious storage space.
Finally, it was time to restock the warehouse area. The Food Bank had recently been given a large grant it has used to buy a lot of food in bulk, so we followed Mark's list to bring the items most needed down from upstairs.
While all this was going on, we also had Amelia from NottsTV following us with a camera and interviewing us about GoodGym and the January Challenge (Nottingham hit its targets, amazing work!). Her piece should be on some time between 5:30 and 7:30 tomorrow, I'll post a link in the Facebook group and WhatsApp once it's up!
Thank you so much to everyone who showed up, looking forward to seeing you again soon!
