Today, I was one of the many volunteers that made sorting and packing food for the Borough food cooperative an enjoyable speedy task.

We had 8 GoodGymers braving the cold for our group run to help Ian at Old Alleynian Sports Club.

When we got to the club, Ian split us into two groups. One group took loppers and saws to clear ivy from a tree near the small pedestrian entrance. The other group started clearing leaves at the entrance before being re-joined by the group clearing the ivy as we continued up the drive. A couple of people peeled off as we neared 8pm and the temperature dropped. Those left were rewarded with a bag of chocolate bars to share by Ian before we set off on our way back to Peckham.

On a beautiful sunny Monday afternoon, three enthusiastic goodgymers set off for an invigorating walk, ready to make a difference. Our first stop was the local community church, where we eagerly pitched in to move an array of wooden pieces onto the balcony. The warm sun kissed our faces as we worked, all while we awaited for the food delivery.

When the delivery finally arrived, we sprang into action, efficiently organizing and carefully stocking each item in its designated place. Our teamwork made the process smooth and enjoyable. We also took the time to sort through a collection of recycling boxes, energetically transporting them to the designated bin area.

With smiles on our faces, we accomplished everything quickly and with a sense of fulfilment, making a positive impact in our community on the lovely afternoon.

AJ and Brenda, assisted the Borough food cooperative in re-stocking their shelves in preparation for their Tuesday customers. It was a very sarisfy way to spend a morning.

Trip hazards and unstable outdoor furniture clearance. All swept up and ready for spring 🌼

I had a great time in sorting out the donated food alongside another GoodGym volunteer.
