We supported KVA’s Surplus to Supper Hub, an initiative that redistributes over 5 tonnes of surplus food each week. Our team helped manage incoming stock by unloading the van and moving crates of fresh and dry goods into the pantry for sorting and storage. We also cleaned the inside of the shipping-container fridge and checked dates on frozen and dry food items to keep everything safe and organised.
In addition, we sorted donated non-food items, separating gift items, home-use items, cosmetic products and more into trays, to ensure everything was properly categorised.
Overall, we contributed to the Hub’s mission to reduce food waste and support local food security by completing a wide range of practical, hands-on tasks.
Afterwards, we rounded off the evening with a wonderful Christmas social at The Albion, enjoying time together and celebrating our teamwork and the festive spirit.
A big welcome to Esme on her first outing with GoodGym Kingston. Hope to see you at another task soon!

Collaboration between DLAG, GoodGym and Growbaby. Petra collected donations of mother and baby products from Kingston & Surbiton DLAG stores and dropped them off at Kingston's GrowBaby on Saturday afternoon! Very happy with the amount of products we were able to get to GB.

Saturday afternoon I teamed up with Serena from DLAG for a special collection mission! 🚀
On our donation wish list: nappies, baby wipes, sanitary towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and soap — for adults, children, and babies alike.
Despite the chilly weather, we managed to collect 14 whole boxes of supplies!
A huge thank-you to the wonderfully generous people of Surbiton — you warmed up the day more than the sun ever could. 💛💙

Today the task was to clear the wood chip etc around the raised beds, so Danni, myself, some girls doing their Duke of Edingburgh Award and a couple of other members of the community worked together to acheive this. The extra was then spread around the beds.
