Super enjoyable evening for a jog, talk and baby clothes donation-sorting!

This was a tale of two groups coming together - one group that included Pippa, Ramon, Julia and Saj (who met us mid-run) met at the usual base to catch-up and wait for others to arrive. We started with a small warmup and then took a very flat direct route to Leytonstone - it was a very nice evening with minimum cars on quiet roads so time went very quickly and we arrived at the Cornerstone church in no time where we met the second group (Amarjit, Tony and Helen) that came directly to the 'do good' part of the evening.

Our lovely hosts Lindsey and Sophie met us and showed us inside where they kindly prepared some water and sweets for us:) They then explained what needed to be done and we got on with it. It was such a nice way to spend this time on Wednesday evening - great opportunity to catch-up with fellow goodgymmers and hear what's everyone been up to, sort super-cute baby clothes to make sure that only the best gets donated.

Time went super quickly!!!! So the running crew left to jog back to Walthamstow whilst the rest of folks carried on helping out to make it into a full community mission.

Great job everyone - always a pleasure to see our community come together like this on Wednesday. See you next week for the next session - sign up here.

Baby Bank @Cornerstone Church
Providing baby essentials to those who need it

Cornerstone Baby Bank is a new initiative in partnership between Cornerstone Church and Forest Ward Mutual Aid. A baby bank is like a food bank but for baby essentials. Our aim is for the local community to donate new and lightly used baby goods and we can pass them on to local people who need them.
