Five runners and cyclists got together on a warm but grey Wednesday evening to deliver much-needed food parcels to Leytonstone residents sheltering due to Covid-19.

Helen , Kevin, Sharon,Hilary and Rosa from Newham Goodgym met up with Aidan from Islington to deliver meals prepared by the Mutual Aid group Food For The Forest, based at the Farm Community Kitchen on Cann Hall Road.

With about 20 meals to deliver, the team fanned out in all different directions to deliver the parcels on foot and two wheels. Despite a few instances of walking round in circles (looking at you – Helen, Kevin and Sharon!) all parcels got delivered safely with minimum fuss.

As it was a Wednesday night (the traditional evening for a Goodgym Newham task and post-task pub trip) beers and crisps were muted, but sadly on this occasion were not to be. But good things (and beer and crisps) come to those who wait, and with restrictions gradually relaxing, we’ll be getting together for a Goodgym social soon I’m sure.

It was great to take on a task from Food for the Forest, and we look forward to Goodgym continuing to support this great work!
