Report written by Bournemouth runner
This week we ran to Boscombe to check out Bournemouth Foodbank's new warehouse location. A great turn out with Daryl back from a well earned break and Caprice back again after a busy few weeks. Also great to have Esther back again! Dan joined us again after traveling Japan for a couple weeks! What a cool bunch of jet=setters!!
Our run took us down the gardens towards the beach and then up a steep climb and onto the Overcliff...not a friendly start at all but a great photo op at the top overlooking the coast. Then we dropped in through and up Boscombe garden and back into Boscombe high street....SOOOOO many HILLS!!! And it was so muggy again.
After an introduction from Ed the team split up into sorters, shop fitters, cardboard box builders, cutters and flag folders! Our 30mins flew by and we felt like we wanted to stay and do more! But as you can see from the photos we had a lot of fun. And every time we sort through donations at the Foodbank we end up so hungry!! The way back took us along the Prom and soon a conversation about cheese broke out and by the time we got back to Flirt, everyone was starving! Well done everyone, great turnout! Next week we are painting playground fences in Boscombe and after we are having drinks....just because we can!! See you then and thank you Lee for some great photos and Neil and Grace for the team work on the pun!!
No-one in the community should face hunger. They provide 3 days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food, and offer support to local people in crisis who are referred to them by support agencies.
