Report written by Newcastle runner
It was one L of a team (or actually 2 L’s) from GoodGym Newcastle with Liz and Louise helping out at the East End Women’s foodbank for our regular Wednesday visit. There was nothing flaky about the job we did today re-stocking the cornflakes and bran flakes! And since Liz and I have both bean to the foodbank many times we quickly stocked the beans too! With the lentils, tomatoes, soup and fruit also topped up we were w-ell happy with our hour’s work!
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.
