It was a very interesting morning to welcome Slin to GoodGym for her first community mission. I arrived early to meet all of the people running the holiday camp. At this point I met Verona, who was busy assessing her kitchen, finding that it needed a good clean and was a bit sparse of equipment for preparing food.

Thankfully, soon after Slin arrived, so did the food. We were able to help arranging the it to know what we could prepare and serve the breakfast cereal for children as they arrived. Soon enough we had made a good team together and had fed all the kids ready for a day of triathlon based activity. It turns out that we were just a toaster away from a satisfying breakfast for everyone. Well done Slin for being ready for anything, and getting your good deeds started in style.

We left just as Verona had returned with some decent equipment to get snacks and lunch sorted, while the children went off for a swimming session.

Handsworth children’s triathlon holiday camp volunteer
Keeping children fit and fed this Christmas holidays

A fun, free, inclusive 4-day holiday camp for children in Handsworth. Children will enjoy swim, bike and run activities, alongside a healthy breakfast and lunch, and learn about making healthy food choices. The aim of this free holiday camp is to tackle holiday hunger this Christmas by reaching children, of all backgrounds, whose families may struggle to meet the extra pressure of missing free school meals during the school holidays. It is being delivered by British Triathlon, in partnership with the Triathlon Trust, Central England Co-Operative and Sport Birmingham.
