Report written by Huw Davies
Another productive day at The Peepul Centre and a milestone to celebrate as Stu completed his 100th good deed to become our latest GoodGym Angel! Congratulations Stu, the efforts you've put in over the whole course of GoodGym but particularly during the pandemic where you've helped with both the Leicester lockdown testing and the vaccination programme have been immense! This week alone he's been volunteering every day and put in more hours than most people do in a normal working week and on top of that occassionally nipping out for an hour to help with his local foodbank before returning to continue his work at the vaccination centre.
This week The Peepul Centre went to 7 days a week, 12 hours a day vaccinating the over 70s, clinically extremely vulnerable and health and social care workers from across Leicestershire and beyond. GG Leicester have stepped up in style and, I believe for the first time ever, we have completed over 200 volunteering hours in a single week. An incredible effort making such a difference towards getting our lives back to normal and our local community safe. Well done to Nick, Mel, Dave, Stu and Huw.
200 volunteering hours, Mel's 150th good deed, Stu's 100th good deed and thousands of people vaccinated. How GOOD is GoodGym!
Proud is an understatement.
