A call out from our buddies at the Vineyard reached us to donate supplies to help them to continue to deliver goods to homes across the borough. At this unprecedented time, the Vineyard are experiencing the perfect storm of people being in greater need, a massive drop in food donations, and the complete loss of income from the shop and café - so they need our help now more than ever!

The group were delighted to take up the task. Luckily, with the supermarkets being a bit more stocked up it wasn't hard to tick off many of the goods the foodbank are running short of. Topping up with some generous donations from neighbours.

On a sunny Thursday afternoon, we donned our GoodGym T-shirts and each made our way to the Vineyard - ladened with rucksacks jostling against our backs as we ran, or looking like a circus trick-cyclist, with bags on backs, cereal boxes in baskets, and tin cans in panniers.

Kevin greeted each of us as we arrived - shouting out 'Hello GoodGym' & waving (from a safe distance!) Cathy and JP managed to 'bump' in to each other & bid a fond farewell for now...not before snapping a pic from a 2m distance :). AND our very own Anita and Harry may have even been captured in all their GG mad-bicycle-donation by a film crew...oooooo!!

It was fab to see the whole community come together from all walks of life donating what they could.

Next week's task for Richmond Foodbank is already live so sign up & donate what you can!
