It was a busy morning at the food bank today with less than 10 volunteers. 😱🤯

Lisa and Yvonne were the only helpers out back making up food parcels. 🥫📦 There’s a new system where customers can choose what they would like, which is supposed to avoid swaps, but doesn’t! 🙄 It takes much longer to make up orders, so still needs some work.

Pat was one of 2 helpers on the cafe 🍰 ☕after someone had a strop and went home.😾 Fiona did a great job today running the show, keeping morale up and greeting everyone on the door. 😊👏

3 goodgymers collected 30 pizzas from Pizza Hut and delivered to the children and staff on the wards at QA Hospital!! this brilliant mission was for Sophie's Legacy a fantastic charity who make this happen every Saturday.

All together now:

Happy Birthday to us! Happy Birthday to us! Happy Birthday, GoodGym Portsmouth, Happy Birthday to us!

We had a fab hour out on the water, and were all appropriately prepared thanks to our kayak expert-in-residence, Yvonne. Dawn came out on the water with us, and was able to guide us to a secret seal hang out. After checking us out from afar, the cheeky seals kept popping up to say hello. Abby named some of our new friends - you might spot Simon and Garfunkel in our photos!
