Two GoodGymers helped leaflet for the new FoodCycle venue in Felling. FoodCycle combats food poverty, loneliness and food waste through free community meals made form food that Supermarkets would have thrown away.

Me and Liz were both equally late due to traffic caused by the road works on the Tyne bridge.

The weather was very wet and rainy with big puddles forming in the streets. We stuck together doing one side of the street and then lopping around, completing cu-de-sacs and coming back on the other side of the road, keeping track of where we had been. After about an hour and around 200 leaflets we arrived back at Felling Community Centre and decided to call it for the night as we were completely soaked!

We still have some leaflets let so look out for a future community mission to help us deliver the rest of them in hopefully better weather!
