Blink and you miss it!
We were super efficient at our community mission today where we counted up and packed food parcels into volunteers cars to go out for delivery for East End Women.
Kate's first visit to the foodbank was a Personal Best for us as we were done, all bagged and packed in 45 minutes! We were so quick that we had finished just as Michael arrived having had a nightmare journey over. His good deed is still logged for sheer effort in getting there.
This task supported
A project supporting women with skills and training, education, loneliness and domestic abuse recovery.
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.
