Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Newcastle runner
Just the one GoodGym runner helping East End Women’s Nancy at the food bank today - which wasn’t as much of a problem as it might have been as sadly supplies were too low to allow us to pack any new food parcels today. We still had about 100 bags of ambient food and around 30 veg bags to organise for the delivery drivers to distribute. We used the time to put some of the nicer things aside to make into Christmas parcels (desperate for advent calendars - please consider donating if you can) and I re-built the pretty pink lucozade display! I’ll leave you to marvel at the beautifully vacuumed floor!
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.
