Two GoodGymers spent the session getting seriously stuck in: unloading a huge delivery batch and stacking those colour-coded crates like a fun puzzle, then labelling and freezing 30+ cartons of Jus-Rol puff pastry with spot-on expiry dates.

We mixed up trays packed with veg stars (potatoes, onions, parsnips, cabbages, carrots), fruity favourites (bananas, apples), and handy toiletries (diapers, toilet rolls, shampoos, shower gels), while giving fresh produce like parsnips, potatoes, and carrots a solid quality check.

The grand finale? Smashing through recycling 50+ cardboard boxes, scrubbing crates till they gleamed, and slicing egg cartons into neat 6-egg packs for later use. Pure volunteering joy – teamwork, sweat, and that satisfying “job well done” vibe!

It was a reunion for those who’ve been away in far off lands: Erinna in Oz and AJ in the US. Along with Jo and Katie, they all joined in and completed the usual FB delivery, sort and stock tasks. Baby D was as cute as ever, but soon enough, he’ll be striking out on his own and on the move out of his fun stacking trays.

Today, with the BPC volunteer team I unpacked and sorted a huge delivery from the Felix Project. The time just flew bye.

Goodgymers Brenda and Joe put in a shift at BPC, Joe was on fruit and veg dutirs and Brenda replenished the fridge, we were so on it, we completed the task earlier than expected. Brilliant session.

Today, I assisted the Borough Pantry volunteer team with unloading, sorting and packing food donations.

Today I joined a team of volunteers unload, unpack and replenish stocks at Borough food pantry. It was an enjoyable 2 hour session from 10.30am to 12.30pm
