Wrong information
2 GoodGymers made their way to help their local community in Westminster.
- Thursday, 16th of May 2024

I arrived in time and was given the wrong information as I couldn’t see a familiar face at all. I was invited to join the queue as a homeless person for dinner as there were two other organisations serving food also, well I kindly turned down. One in the photo attached here.
While waiting, I tried to reach out on email and phone but I didn't have any response, I was disappointed and surprised honestly. One homeless person approached me as he said I looked like a volunteer and he then told me I was in the wrong place and Rhythms was stationed by St Martin-in-the-fields. I then quickly ran over after stood in front of Zimbabwe house for 25 mins.
The person in charge of Rhythms has been wondering why there were weeks where he was informed that volunteers were coming but no one turned up, I assume it’s the same reason? Please GoodGym you need to get this right!
I joined the other goodgymer there and we finished by 8pm. A feel good mission nonetheless.
