What a wild night of painting the town GoodGym red!

This week's task involved putting up posters for Age UK's Food2You initiative. They recruit volunteer drivers to pick up an older person's weekly shop, and then take it round to them, staying for a chat while they're at it. Such a cool idea!

We started off welcoming new GG-ers Sean, Anna, Holly, Eduardo and Verity to the crew! And we then had an impromptu visit from Lambeth councillor for volunteering and previous Lambeth mayor(!) Donatus who came to say thanks for what we've done across the borough!

Then we split into 5 teams with taskforce taking the lead. Samantha took a team to West Norwood via Herne Hill. Nicky lead a group to Oval and Stockwell. George's team headed to Clapham. Team Victoria ran to Streatham and my team went through Brixton to Loughborough Junction.

We covered so much ground between us and were pleasantly surprised by how happy most places were to let us put up the posters!

On our return, we were treated to some deliciously moist beer cake (that'll be the Guinness) from Frances and some fabulously flavoursome cinnamon buns from Rebecca. 😋


Join us next week as we head to Brixton Road Youth Centre for some classic leaf clearing and helping to sort through their lock-ups! Sign up here!
