Westminster Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)
Last night’s session took us back to one of our favourite places – the incredible St Andrew’s Club in Westminster, which is the oldest youth club in the world. It has been serving the local community since 1866, and is truly special place for so many young people. The club offers every activity imaginable, from music to karate, healthy cookery to screen printing.
It was brilliant to see some new faces join the session – a big warm welcome to Monica, India and Chris! There were two main areas to tackle so we split into teams and got to work.
The first team took on a room packed with musical instruments and kit. From keyboards to amps, mics to mixing desks, the room needed a reshuffle. Lifting, shifting, stacking, and sorting – it was a full-body workout but by the end, the space was transformed and ready for young creatives to make some noise again.
Meanwhile, the other team tackled a room brimming with hundreds of pairs of shoes – all in boxes, all in need of sorting. Thankfully, our dream team included a former children’s shoe salesperson, an expert in prosthetics fitting, and a fashion retail expert – so we were qualified for the task! After 45 minutes of teamwork and sorting, there was a lot more space to use.
With time left for a cardio and conditioning session, we wrapped up the evening with a short but intense blast. Everyone showed amazing form, especially during the brutal mountain climbers and our ski jump finisher. Huge effort all round!
Thanks again to everyone who came. Next week we’ll be out distributing food to rough sleepers and we’d love to have you with us. Hope to see you then!
