DOING GOOD

Following on from our Sunday Special group run in January where we first supported Age UK with their Monthly lunch club, we were back today to help again & in quite similar weather conditions... Anyone remember that soggy run back in Jan?!

Visiting Age UK is always a delight with the smiling volunteers & warm welcome, including a hot brew! & once again the centre was expecting a whopping 46 elderly people from the local community for Sunday lunch. The lunch not only provides a healthy, hot meal, but a social experience for those who may be most at risk of experiencing isolation.

The three of us from GoodGym set about moving the tables & chairs, and laying out cutlery & condiments for the feast - which smelt delicious - whilst volunteers from the YMCA joined in the cooking tasks.

The room was set up in no time & as always, it was time to grab a group photo & leave the Age UK helpers to finish off lunch preparations.

Every second Sunday of the month we'll be back here, supporting the lunch club & enjoying a nice cuppa :) Keep your eyes peeled on the community mission page.
