Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Helen Noyes
Six good gymers met at Slung Low (aka Holbeck WMC) for a meet and greet from Alan. The theatre company is currently distributing up to 300 food parcels daily to local residents and were welcoming volunteers to pack bags with fresh and dry groceries. So we climbed into an articulated lorry to bag up supplied donated by organisations on an industrial scale. A production line was formed and bags filled at a cracking pace. Alan presented us with jars of homemade jam as a reward!
Founded in 2000 Slung Low is an award-winning theatre company specialising in making epic productions in non-theatre spaces, often with large community performance companies at their heart. During the COVID-19 crisis, Slung Low turned into a non-means tested food bank offering food parcels.
