FoodCycle Camden

Volunteers take surplus food from retailers and transform this into a weekly, three-course meal for all the community.
Teams rescue surplus food from retailers and turn this in to a tasty meal in various locations around the country each week. Our aims are to reduce food waste and to bring people together reducing social isolation and food poverty. Free to eat, no registration required!

Kentish Town + August Evening + Pamphlets + Local Charities

Wednesday 21st August

Written by Alex Murtough (he/him)

I left our evening on Wednesday feeling happy, until my mind and memory kicked in, and I realised... I hadn't taken any photos!

Too wrapped up in seeing our wonderful group of Emilie, Jackie, John, Sarah, and Steve, I neglected my duties as chief photographer and documenter.

I promise, as an oath and with my hand held above GoodGym's charitable constitution, that... this good-deeding really did happen!

Across nearly an hour, this awesome group scoured the streets just to the east of Kentish Town Station, spreading the word for GoodGym and Camden FoodCycle, which organises a very special community meal every Tuesday in Somers Town.

Caught in a descending sun and a late August warmth, our steady hour of posting, chatting, and walking was a mid-week touch of bliss.

Thanks, everyone, and see you soon!

Good Gym Camden received a referral asking for leaflet distributors. The less-well off in the local community needed to know about a new free meal and social being offered at Saint Pancras Community Association.

We concentrated on a local council estate, and with the assistance of a kindly resident who had a key to the upstairs flats, we distributed all the leaflets we were supplied with, before rewarding ourselves with a vegan Sunday roast at Granary Square.
