Report written by Sian Yeu
Having just come back from a work trip and been super jet lagged, I had spent too much time sitting inside staring at my laptop and eating way too many bags of Maltesers.
So a mission labelled 'URGENT' was a great reason to finally get myself outside and do something useful.
Mrs N had been waiting for someone to bring hot food from a neighbourhood soup kitchen for some time and the previous volunteer had fallen ill so I was a last minute replacement.
Picked up 4 portions of vegetable soup and bread and embarked on a 20-min walk to Mrs N's place. Halfway through, a little bit of the soup had leaked, making the paper carrier bag slightly soggy ans weak so had to cradle the bag like a baby and support the bottom of the bag with one arm. Note to self to bring a sturdy plastic bag next time.
Mrs N was happy to see the food - she said her disability means she has to wait until the next time her carer visits or rely on volunteers to bring hot food to her.
See the photos of the midpoint check to see if food was still intact. And a random photo of the sky - thankfully it was a pleasant rain-free evening.

The park would like to make the space more inviting for the community and wildlife.
