Our community missions for East End women are a regular thing now and always a fab weekly workout for whoever signs up!
Today Louise and I had the task of packing 45 bags of food (complete with enormous boxes of cereal!) as well as preparing, counting and carrying out 4 sets of deliveries for drivers to take to families in the east end of Newcastle.
The time flew by as we packed, stacked and did some dubious counting and recounting. The most satisfying part of the mission today was reaching our THREE THOUSANDTH good deed at GoodGym Newcastle!
We will be back next week so keep an eye on the listings to get involved.

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.
