Pack Away Package Free

Thursday 7th November

Written by Dave M

Sadly Package Free Larder have had to close their doors today.

But that did mean all hands on deck to get the racking, food and bits & bobs packed up to go to some new homes.

We were given the task of clearing the basement storage which was done in exceptional timing that our hosts had to keep finding new jobs for us. Team GG are nothing if not speed demons!!

Once all the items were loaded into the vehicles we bid a sad farewell to the Larder. But nit without promising to be first on hand if they're able to reopen elsewhere in the future. Until we meet again Package Free.

Posting Together for Fratton Together

Wednesday 6th November

Written by Jen Stoneham

Our leafleting task turned out to be a letter delivery task, asking local residents to nominate inspiring individuals for Stephen Morgan's annual award ceremony.

Portsmouth GoodGym have previously won an award through the programme and we proved we were worthy winners by smashing out a whole lot of leaflets in our hour long session this evening.

It turns out that leafleting is much more fun with friends, and the time and streets flew by. We also discovered Val's walking origami skills, and that Judy could probably represent Team GB in the Leafleting Olympics. She has missed her calling as a postie!

Spooky spuds and creepy crawlies

Sunday 3rd November

Written by Laura Wells

Always an excellent 'before and after' opportunity here, as this area is unfortunately always blighted by rubbish. Including lots of litter to do with the billboards! Plenty of creepy crawlies and a we also retrieved a whole bag of rubbish dumped in a bramble bush, including some potatoes and nappies, lovely. 5 bags of rubbish between two and a half of us, not bad for a Sunday morning!
