Four Camden GoodGym enthusiasts signed up at short notice to assist the Camden Foodbank at 11:30 the following day. Two of the participants attended a preparatory 9am Zoom meeting, during which task owner Abe received a call advising him there was to be a delivery from Tesco in just 40 minutes time - so two runners were urgently needed to assist.

As I live in Camden Town, I roused fellow-GoodGymer Jackie from bed and we hot-footed it to the foodbank, where we cleared the stairs of cardboard boxes, allowing the food delivery man and his daughter plenty of room to carry crates of provisions up to the store area. We crushed and bagged the boxes for recycling.

At the original start time, Abi and Isobel arrived. This was Abi’s 372nd and penultimate GoodGym mission while London-based, but she’s already signing up to continue the good work at GoodGym York. In the meantime, together with Isobel, she shifted and sorted a lot of crates to enable the foodbank to service those in need.
