‘Better’ managers get a taste for volunteering
By Diana Morais
The management team from the Better Leisure Centre in Lewisham is looking for projects that need a helping hand.
This week, eight colleagues volunteered at the Irish Centre in Catford to prepare a free, hearty three-course meal for almost 50 visitors, alongside the charity Food Cycle.
Food Cycle aims to combat poverty and food waste by preparing meals from food that was about to be thrown away, at the Lewisham Irish Centre on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
The team said they enjoyed it so much they wanted to find another worthy cause.
Matthew Houghton, Better’s community Sport manager in the region, said: “Other than that, it turns out that if we didn’t have a career in leisure, catering could be our second calling.
“Now we’re itching to get going with our next challenge, so if you know of a group looking for volunteers, please get in touch – matthew.houghton@gll.org.”
