*Actually they were limes! With East End Women’s super woman Nancy, first timer at the food bank Charlotte, returning for a second time Florence, and I all sharing out the jobs today, the task today was easy peas-y lemon squeezy! Charlotte and Florence stacked the fab new shelves, I packed some more bags ready for delivery and we all helped load the bags into the volunteer delivery drivers’ cars. We built a huge Fruit Shoot mountain and a fluorescent pink Lucozade display! We were short of fresh veg this week but someone had kindly cooked curry and rice for the food bank’s freezer so hopefully, together with a naan bread this was a good substitute. Same time next week?
East End Women offers practical courses for women to build confidence and skills around DIY, sewing, pattern cutting and basic trades. We also deliver the Freedom Programme domestic abuse recovery course, helping women to better understand the roots of domestic abuse and build confidence to identify warning signs in the future. In addition to this, East End Women also offer social activities and drop-in sessions for women experiencing isolation to meet one another, make friends and build local networks.
