Reverse Advent Calendar !

The Lambeth community will be joining the MoneySavingExpert Reverse Advent Calendar Challenge!

The goal is simple collect as many items on the list by the final group session of the year (17th Dec) and AA Yianny will deliver them to the Lambeth Foodbank.

Each GGer can also complete the entire challenge and take the donations to a local org accepting them (ask Yianny for a list) themselves.

What’s better than eating a little chocolate each day? This is. Join in and make a difference :0)
