Save the Bacon

Monday 29th July

Tonight 16 GoodGymer's ran 2km to the new Prescilla Bacon Lodge Hospice in Norwich.

This brand new facility is a dedicated hub for specialist palliative care, in a beautiful setting of landscaped gardens for use by patients and their families.

Louise led us round detailing the great work that is done by many volunteers, including our very own Katy who was also present when his majesty the King officially opened the centre earlier this year.

We were given the opportunity to take part in a bereavement activity remembering close relatives, animals or friends by using finger paints and sharing stories.

It will be great to return to help out with special events and fundraising activies in the future.

Tonight we had our first ever visit to the Priscilla Bacon Hospice charity shop in Anglia Square, to help them sort through donations.

Its always great to help new organisations and new tasks.

Adam, the shop manager, let us in and showed us the ropes of what needed to be done.

Before long, everyone was getting stuck in.

Please be careful with the use of the photo of Stephen Reed doing the hoovering... he is worried his wife will see it and get him doing it at home.

We got loads done in 50 minutes, despite me distracting people with the whoopie cushion.

Thank you to Priscilla Bacon Hospice for having us, we look forward to visiting again in the future.
