A new challenge this Tuesday at The Malden Centre near Jubilee Square as we helped Emma to help set up a food hub for Kingston Voluntary Action.

It's going to be a fantastic venue and the kitchen rooms just needed a good clean, which Anna, Emily, Levita and Rachel got going with.

Meanwhile Dave, Marcos and Tom got sweeping, removing lots of leaves and litter outside their enormous refrigerated shipping container, which is for storing the food and was perfect for one of our weirdest team photos ever.

A nice fun task, even including free biscuits!

We had a lovely group run to Kingston Surplus Food Hub. It's a new initiative set up by Kingston Voluntary Action to help tackle food waste and poverty in the area. A significant amount of food is bought in by supermarkets and wasted so the idea is to set up a kitchen to absorb some of these ingredients and turn it into delicious food for the community. It's not up and running yet and we were asked to help to prepare the kitchen and the outside area to get it up to a certain standard - and so we did.

Claire, Emily, Jana, Rachel and Emma all tackled to the kitchen - picking sticky glue marks off the walls and scrubbing them down. There were three rooms in total but the amount of work that was needed meant that we only managed two rooms out the three. Dave, Luke and Kieran were out in the car park - moving branches and green waste. A big tidy up by all.

So much to do and the hour went quickly by. We had a great laugh doing it - we'll be back to help in a couple of months.
