Come and See Lewisham

A Come and See What a Gift Day Leisure event was held at Glass Mill Leisure Centre. This event was held for the community in the borough of Lewisham with attendees keen to get active with donations and more. 

 

With a massive thank you to our core donators Sainsbury's Dulwich for the clothing, refreshments, snacks, non perishables, and gifts. Also a special thank you to Sainsbury's Loampit Vale for the much needed fruits. An important contribution for access to a well balanced diet.

 

Also an acknowledgement to Sainsbury's Elephant Castle and Lewisham shopping centre for their non perishable donations to help top up. 

 

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 to Come and See. 

 

Local school parents and families were invited from the borough. Including future free events, with access to supportive services including learning about the sustainable volunteering opportunity. Also invited to attend the Allonego Thrive webinar on how to get access to their own free online ecommerce shop. With pre selected well-being and eco friendly products to Just Sell and help generate 1 meal items for a person in need. Also earn commission at the same time without having to deal with any deliveries or inventory. 

 

People and children could not believe all the items that 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 30 families and individuals in need, with many showing interest in the sustainable volunteering opportunity and Allonego Thrive. 

 

Welcome to Nigel from Utility House for joining in with knowledge sharing with parents and individuals of how best to save on eveyday commitments. 

 

A super special thank you to Manager Matthew, for opening the door to us once again. Also to the gym team for helping with the 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 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. 

You are invited to part of Come and See, it is free!.
