Just like at Tesco, every little helps. Small gestures with big impacts. Without my shop for Mr D there is no way I would of been up and running on a Saturday morning , Mr D couldn't of been more grateful that the shop was stocking him up for the next week.

It was my first new shopping mission in a while, it made me realise how frustrating it must be for the older people we are helping. Letting somebody else budget with your £20, deciding when to buy brands and when to get cheaper options. Checking on sell by dates, figuring out sizes of product. Maybe I'm just too specific with my shopping demands but I think it's incredible that GoodGym have built a community that so many beneficiaries have been able to trust.
