Seven GoodGym enthusiasts met with Kamal at the Tower Hamlets Community Transport hub to support Ocean Youth Connexions prepare for a busy season ahead.

Danya, Emma, Hedley, Lobo and Oliver travelled round the corner from Felix Project and joined Ilana and Megan with sweeping, raking and shovelling earth into manageable mounds… ready to be hefted round the corner to a large communal compost heap.

⭐️We heaped, we heaved, we laughed and got a lot done. Well done, Everyone!⭐️

We’ll be helping Kamal at the hub again on Thursday 30 January.

Seasoned Felix Project-pro Oliver got to work in the Warehouse, whilst Lobo joined Tom to take us through our safety induction. Following an introduction to the warehouse, we headed next door to work in the kitchen.

The induction took just under an hour, which meant we only had 50 minutes in the kitchen but got straight to work.

It was a delight to work hard with Danya, Hedley, Lobo, and Oscar. Team spirit was very much the order of the day as we quickly formed efficient working lines to prep and pack ready meals of rice and dahl.

We completed 360 ready meal microwaveable boxes, which roughly equates to 438kg of ready-to-eat food for Londoners.

⭐️Well done, Everyone. I reckon that’s a job well done. ⭐️

I’d also like to extend a very warm welcome from GoodGym to Oscar and Hedley who joined us at Felix in Poplar for their first task. Looking forward to seeing you both soon.
