A Come and See Leisure event was held for the community in the borough of Croydon with attendees keen to get active with donations and more. 

With a massive thank you to our core donators Morrisons Waddon, where we were able to do a free shop for pasta, spaghetti, noodles, tinned soups, water, squash, biscuits and fruits. With a guest visit from Tina the Community Champion and Waddon Store Manager Keira who gave their thumbs up to Doing Good for Good.

Also a special thank you to Sainsbury's Dulwich for continuing to support our cause and Come and See events with the tins of tuna, tomatoes, and baked beans including crisps. Finally to Sainsbury's New Cross Gate for the overflow of sweets and chocolates that helped with our treats section to bring a smile to all. This was a great demonstration of stores collectively contributing for the community both locally to far and wide. 

This event is all about responding to people with what do they need. All for free, just Come and See. 

Attendees were able to register for more free events, and get access to supportive services including learning about the sustainable volunteering opportunity. Local parents, individuals and gym visitors/members received access to free refreshments and an array of free resources to pick up. From non perishables, long life items, fruits, treats, snacks, toiletries, new adult and children's clothing. 

People and children could not believe all the items were free and brand new. The donation variety, the amount and especially all the extra supportive services available to help narrate a person out of their need and help make things happen. Overall impacting over 17 families and individuals in need, with many showing interest in the sustainable volunteering opportunity and even signing up there and then. 

A special thank you to Luke, the Manager of Better Gyms, Waddon Leisure Centre, for opening the door to us. Also to the gym team for helping with signposting and onsite event set up. 

Grateful that we are able to host within a fitness, health and wellbeing environment to inspires households and people to make it part of their lifestyle. 

The good news is that some of the left over donations will be going to another event in the community creating sustainable impact. The donations keep on rolling on!

The final outcome is the mutual agreement that the only way is up, and building back sustainably to help communities thrive is where it is going. 

Be part of Come and See, it is free!
