It was another busy day at East End Women’s foodbank today with a mixture of tasks - packing bags of food, helping load them into the volunteer delivery drivers’ cars, re-stacking shelves and getting rid of all the cardboard - and no, the recycling container still hasn’t been emptied! Today was the last time GoodGym will be helping out here - at least as a regular weekly task - so I thought I should find out why there’s a double decker bus parked outside. Sadly, that remains a mystery! GoodGym Newcastle has been helping out regularly at the foodbank since May 2020 and I was there the first week, so from a personal point of view it felt fitting that I was there in the last week too. It’s been amazing to see how it has developed over this time and it was good to hear from Sarah today about the plans for the project to evolve, with new ways of helping the people in the East of Newcastle. One of the photos is a reminder of the work they’ve done so far and it’s been an honour to have contributed. Although we won’t be continuing on a regular weekly basis, I’m sure this isn’t the end of the relationship between GoodGym Newcastle and East End Women. Sarah has lots of ideas about tasks we can do in the coming months. In the meantime, for both of us, it’s bus-yness as usual!
