In the first of a series of weekly delivery unloading tasks at the Bromley-By-Bow Community Centre, 6 dedicated goodgymers rose to their challenge and switched up their monotonous gym routines to help the amaazing Kate with her weekly delivery for the Bow foodbank, to help the foodbank prepare to support their community on Monday.

Big shout out and warm welcome to Gloria on her first ever community mission!

Another big shout out and round of applause also to Siobhan for her second mission (having supported the wonderul St Hildas staff, but without actually meeting other goodgymers the previous week)

Thanks also to Katrin for joining the Foodbank for the first time. Currently sitting 2nd overall in the whole of Goodgym for good deeds this month - incredible commitment for some great causes.

Last but by all no means least, massive kudos to task regulars Ivy, Jacqui and of course, Ceiling for joining Kate and I again. Its no mean feat to cotninue sacrtificng your time to travel to these tasks: often a long journey & filling in to take photos (Jacqui!), directly from other previous tasks the same day (Ceiling!) and consistently helping the same project Ivy, who has not missed a single task and the Bow Foodbank yet). You guys are amazing and you should all be proud of the impact you have had this year and with a smile on your faces every single time.

Thank you so much to everyone who attended, hope to see you and some others at the same time this Thursday :)

Delivering the food parcels for St Hilda's is easily one of my favourite tasks - it is the perfect opportunity to stop what you're doing (working / watching Netflix / sleeping) and get outdoors to give our community a helping hand. Rain or shine, Goodgymers turn up to this task and deliver essential meals to individuals and families who are needing our support - especially due to COVID-19.

I didn't bump into the other Goodgymers today, but was greeted, as usual, by the wonderful Jennifer & Co to pick up my Stepney parcels then jumped back on my bike to try to beat the rain - although this particular aspect of the task was very unsuccessful... Despite a thorough soaking, all 3 of my parcels were delivered with a smile and gratefully received by the residents - making all parties day that little bit better.

Would especially recommend this task to anyone struggling with one of the world's fastest growing 1st world problems - "Working From Home Fatigue" Well done and big thanks to all the volunteers today.
