The people at FoodCycle are beginning to wonder how they would ever cope if it wasn't for the amazing contribution of GoodGym to their volunteering team. This afternoon and evening was no exception.

Gill did a double wammy as she started the afternoon at 2pm with a trip to Sainsbury's to collect some of the food surplus which we would be using to turn onto a healthy meal for the guests. After unloading the mountain of food with Jordi one of the FoodCycle Team she was soon joined by other FoodCyclers, including Pam and we were soon deciding on a menu for the evening. Pam took charge of the starter and came up with a delicious egg salad topped by a couple of boiled eggs and her very own home made mayonnaise!!!

Gill was busy putting together an apricot pudding with apricot and strawberry sauce. While they were flat out in the kitchen, it was time for Soheil and Ali to make their FoodCycle debut. They were joined by Yazed and all three did an amazing job of setting up the hall ready for the meal. And what a lovely team to greet the guests, as they were smiling throughout service and while washing up and tidying up afterwards.

Well done GoodGym team - another fabulous meal served to over 50 appreciative guests.
