Kentish Town + FoodCycle + Autumn Evening

Camden Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)

Our wonderful group of pamphlet-posting-pros are... a threat!!

There - I've said it - and no - I won't take it back! No siree - I just won't do it!

Because it's true. They're a big-old-threat... because... they're just so efficient!

If Royal Mail - or DPD - or London's cycle couriers could see our group in posting action, they'd know what I mean!

I'm not sure what the technique is called - perhaps it's well established in an obscure postal outpost - or perhaps it's a patentable extension of posting innovation - and I think it should be called the leapfrog - they line up, they post, they run round the others, they post again, and on it goes until all you can hear are multiple letterboxes clanging in happy unison.

This is how our brilliant group - of Andy, Jackie, John, Sarah, and Steve - posted over 300 pamphlets for (the awesome) Camden FoodCycle this Wednesday.

And they married their efficiency with fun - you could hear laughter and conversation alongside the letterboxes - it was a joy to spend the evening with this special group!

Here's to the next one!!

Flyer-by-night

Wandsworth Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

Pumpkin spiced lattes, roast potatoes, fallen apples for composting bins....and dogs dressed up for Halloween? It could only be Autumn at GoodGym Wandsworth - and we're here for it!

We started off our evening with a warm up and a big decision to make. Did we have it in us to tackle not one, but two tasks that evening? Of course we did! So after several different moves to get our heart rates up and a discussion about whether we'd prefer to be super wealthy, wise or famous (we were split evenly between wealthy and wise) we set off for our initial location for the night.

The first part of our task was very much in keeping with the Autumn theme. We soon arrived at Christchurch gardens, a local space which is managed by residents. They try to keep it as clean, tidy, safe and welcoming for neighbours as possible, and asked us to come and lend a hand with the fallen leaves. The problem had got out of hand at the front of the community hall and church as they have been coming down thick and fast here, making it slippery underfoot. So while most of the team got busy picking and bagging them, some of us went round the perimeter of the garden collecting litter.

It didn't take us long to make a huge difference, so after a quick break for a photo (thanks Andy!) we got ready for our second task of the evening.

FoodCycle aims to make food poverty, loneliness and food waste a thing of the past for every community. Their vision is to connect communities, reduce loneliness and food poverty using surplus food to help everyone who needs us. They have a new hub in Clapham Junction which is a welcoming space for people from all walks of life to meet, eat and have conversations, but it is still in its early stages to needs more volunteers to help run the place.

They asked us to help spread the word by leafleting in the local area to try and raise awareness and recruit people to help. So armed with a few hundred flyers, we got started by forming a highly efficient human chain. With a group of us on each side of the street we went from house to house putting the leaflets through letterboxes. It ended up being a bit of a race - a spot of healthy competition always helps get the job done faster at GoodGym!

At the end of the evening we had covered quite a bit of mileage and supported two important, and very different, local organisations. What better way to spend a Monday! If you'd like to extend the happy feeling of using your workout to do good, why not join me tonight to deliver more leaflets for FoodCycle this time in the Elephant and Castle area. Or if you're free Sunday, why not pop down to the GoodGym Garden in Clapham to do various jobs including, excitingly, installing a new composting bin!.

Next week we're back at the BAC helping with their Permablitz garden. Not sure what Permablitz is all about? Click on the link to find out more and sign up!
