Today it’s been mega busy again... Just my type of day and far more effective when you combine home chores with volunteering - Everyone’s a winner.
After my Dagenham 88 club handicap run I caught up with Shaikh Imran. I went old skool and emptied out the food contents of his Ferrari today.
The loot from Lonely Orphans will go to a local homeless project. Mid pose we also hammered out the finer details of our Ramadan challenge for Lonely Orphans.
This ones an exciting one.
A partnership between local sports rivals and businesses has proven particularly fruitful as sporting members of our community have come together to deliver local aid to homeless residents.
The Coronavirus pandemic has hit the rough sleepers in Barking & Dagenham particularly hard with many in isolation and struggling to cope with lockdown and social distancing rules.
Barking CC, Scintilla CC and food donors from the local Nisa store in Dagenham were in attendance at a food collection point at Barking Cricket Club.
The iconic local organisations got together to collect donations at an organised food collection to be delivered to the local homeless hostel.
The idea to do so came from Barking coach Kanan Thiyagarajah. Me and my son collected and delivered to the local homeless hostel.
Last week the Government announced that £6 million of the Coronavirus funding for frontline charities would be ring fenced to support homelessness services as they work to protect people sleeping rough.
One behalf of the One Third Homeless Soup Kitchen and Scintilla Cricket Club I’m really pleased we are using the power of cricket to spread positivity. With the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic leaving whole nations suffering we may never see a period of history like this again.
Credit goes to Kanan and Nisa for arranging this. It was great to see Marlon and Brian too.
