Report written by Kate Frain
This time we were helping raise awareness of the Man with a Pan project run by AgeUK, which is a fun, friendly 5 week practical cookery course where participants will learn how to cook healthy, nutritious meals, meet new people and gain essential cookery skills.
It's aimed at older men who have been recently bereaved, have caring responsibilities, may be lonely and isolated and have never really learned to cook and/ or live alone and don't have the skills to cook healthy nutritious meals from scratch. It's a project really close to our hearts and we're hoping to do more work with them in the future - watch this space!
Anyway, back to the task in hand and also the essential Group run equipment of wooden SPATULAS (hence our wonderful pun - thanks to Isaac for that one!). Utensil models and stalwart Group runners Jo and Vicky.
After we had assembled, warmed up and chatted about the task and news we headed out to our leaflet destination of Sale. Once there we set about posting our leaflets through doors (with the help of our wooden friends to protect our fingers - pick up one GoodGym Trafford point for getting this tip!) and chatting to people we met along the way about the Man with a Pan initiative. We managed to deliver over 400 leaflets, amazing effort guys! Triumphant team!
Thanks for delivering the leaflets for us, much appreciated!
Streets pounded we returned home at a fair clip, and cooled off back at our lovely base location of St Matthews Hall in Stretford whilst chatting about the spooky halloween task for next week! Whooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Well done again to the team!
