Kingston upon Thames Report written by Jade
With a smaller group, likely due to the holiday period, we were glad to have some space to maneuver at Full Cycle tonight! We put our pedal to the metal to handle the assault course of stairs and limited space with a remarkable chain reaction of good deeds.
First, shifting a huge number of bikes, then more shifting bikes, followed by a moving a mountain of rims and wheels. Our final job was to create some inner peace by rolling up countless tubes for recycling. We got a massive amount done and were rewarded with first dibs on some recently donated cycling gear!
A wheelie warm welcome to Louise and well done in your first task and hopefully see you again soon.

Kingston upon Thames Report written by Claire Dunne
As the students had left town for the Summer it was a good opportunity to give the Kingsgate Church food bank a Summer clean.
Claire and Farzeen started working on the fridges and freezers cleaning away the pesky crumbs and washing all the shelves and drawers.
Meanwhile upstairs the team of Luke, Tom, Jenny, Anna and Enara started to sort the canned fruit, meatballs, soup and some very strange looking drinks to identify those which had expired or were close to expiry. Anything close to expiry was put at the top of the pile and everything that had expired was separated out.
One of the freezers needed a little help defrosting for its clean so Anna joined Farzeen with some hot water to give it a helping hand whilst Tom tackled the last fridge.
Everything cleaned and sorted some brave Goodgymers decided to try the mystery drinks that would apparently provide calmness. Some slightly odd expressions followed the tasting - very sweet flavoured with a combination of berries was the verdict. Let’s hope they provided a sense of calm and serenity.
For those that didn’t fancy the mystery drinks there was an assortment of soup, tinned fruit and shepherds pies to take home that were close to expiry and prevent unnecessary food waste.
