More than a wander for WAND UK
9 GoodGymers made their way 10.0km to help the WAND UK in Hammersmith and Fulham.
- Tuesday, 22nd of August 2017
- Led by Polly Skeats-Beswick
After the briefing and a warm-up, Task Force member Jason lead the way to our flyer pick-up location.
Once we found the right "Main entrance" at St Charles Centre for Health and Wellbeing and then the Wand's office inside, we were finally welcomed by the smiley Gladys - staff member at Wand.
She gave us a rundown of the isolated and vulnerable women WANDUK help and the services they provide. Our task was to deliver 3 flyers around the Grenfell Area. One flyer introduced what Wand does, and the second two promoted two new projects in Hammersmith & Fulham. One providing Mental Health Support in multiple languages and the second promoting their Grenfell Emergency services.
Once we got to the Grenfell area the group split into 3 teams of three to deliver the flyers door to door.
After wrangling the group back together we all ran back to base. Everyone keen to head off to the social afterwards - the last one our fab social sec Aska will organise. Give her a Cheer!
Well done to all for a long, old run, a warm welcome to Anna. AND congrats to David for running his 100 Good Deed.
