14 Westminster GoodGymers ran over 7k to help One Big Family Homeless charity prepare the food for the weekly soup kitchen and organise the charities storage after a flood.

A Day lite task!!!! First one of those for ages!!!

Welcome to our GoodGym first timers for their maiden run with the crew!!

A Westminster favourite this week with our monthly visit to One Big Family Homeless Charity in Victoria. One Big Family support many of Westminsters Homeless community throughout the year and every Wednesday provide a Evening meal to those in need while also distributing vital supplies.

With everyone on top form and an extra bounce in our stride we powered our way South this week with a strong pace. Rounding the Corner of Ebury Estate in no time have got a nice sweat on!

After a quick hand wash we got down to business bagging the pastries and making the sandwiches for the evening. A Tune or Jam option this evening while Doughnuts were the main stay for desert!

With only 5 loads of bread and about 125 patties for the evening to sort out we were done in 20 minutes!

With some time to help we came to the aim of the store room flood disaster!! After some squatters had messed about with the boiler the store room had flooded damaging some of the charity’s supplies. So we removed the last of them and reordered everything so things were in easy reach and the community Centre was still useable.

With everything ship shape we powered our way back throwing in 5 long bursts of speed to push our running fitness!! Even throwing in a cheeky hill at the end for fun!!

All back at base stretched out by 8 with a lot of Good under our belts!!

Great job Team!!

Be great to have you along for our Easter/Chocolate Homeless Food Run next week!! All donations are massively well received and help to make for a great evening!!

Smooth Running
