16 Westminster GoodGymers ran 6k to One Big Family Homeless Charity in Victoria to help make food for the evenings soup kitchen and sort out a room full of clothing donations.

Awesome squad ready for speedy food preparing action in Westminster! With some very busy pavements this week we had to navigate some Central London back roads to make our way 3k South to the Ebury Estate and the One Big Family base.

With a hot food offering ready and waiting to feed Westminsters Homeless community we had a few less sandwiches to make than normal but had the added difficulty of cutting the bread buns into matching slices for easy chewing.

With a high quality sandwich production line churning out Ham, Jam and lemon curd (which caused some curdling controversy). 100 sandwiches cut, buttered, spread and bagged all ready for consumption in 30 minutes!!

Going 2 to a bag we dominated getting 400 pastries ready to give away in a speedy 15 minutes of action! Leaving time to sort out the clothes donation store cupboard. Starting as a huge clothes mountain, in 15 quick minutes we had men’s and women’s piles of jumpers, trousers as well As towels, hats and The biggest pants ever made!!

With everything ready for the One Big Family to feed Westminsters most vulnerable we zipped away picking up the pace on our 3k bounce back to New Balance.

Stretched and warm we made our way home with a job well done!!

Next week we will be heading out on our monthly loop to hand out food to Westminsters homeless community. This time we will be handing out hot cross buns if you would like to contribute a bag or two of hot cross buns please bring them along to the session they will be most appreciated!!

Have a great week,

Smooth Running
