OK, now, as is often the way, when I come somewhere and there's a hubbub of people doing things, everyone goes quiet when the microphone goes on, because let's move over to some of the helpers over here, some of the volunteers. Hello, I'm George. What is your role today? What are you up to?
Absolutely. OK. You've got some fantastic-looking loaves over here. You are supported by some local cafes and bakers, aren't you?
And talk to me a little bit, George, about what you put into people's food parcels as regards dietary requirements or also perhaps ethnicity and background and the kind of foods and flavours from their perhaps home countries.
OK, George, thanks very much. And also another volunteer over here. Hello, who are you?
Hi, Lynne. How many years have you been here volunteering?
Okay, and what are you doing today? What's your role today?
Hi, Melanie.
Oh, so you're the boss of these two.
And some of these extras over here are things which you don't necessarily ask for, but they're kind of little treats, they're little different things. We've got some relish here, a cider chutney and some stuffing, mayonnaise, some rather nice posh coffee as well.
And all of this makes sure that none of the food that is donated goes to waste?
Thank you so much. I'll let you get back to your work and come back over to Kate. Kate, what is the overarching message that you want to get out to people who are listening to this?
There are still those pockets on there.
OK, and volunteers to help you, not just here, but also down at your gardens, your allotments, where you're growing fresh veg over the summer.
So that all-important website for people to find out what is on your wish list at the moment and how they can get involved.
And that website also will have your contact details if people want to contribute in another way. Maybe it's fundraising through a school, which we saw a little bit earlier on at the start of this, or maybe it's a business raising money, something like that.
And thanks to everyone down at Loveworks who made me feel so welcome when I went down to their warehouse a few weeks ago, just ahead of the summer holidays, as you probably realised. This is the Planet Rygate podcast. I'm Peter Stewart. If you'd like to help us move into our second year, then please fill out the survey that you'll find in our show notes.
So wherever you're listening to this, there'll be a page of notes and links and so on that we always put there. So scroll down that and you'll be able to see a link through to our survey. Love it if you are a regular or even if you're a new listener that you can fill out that survey.
Just kind of gives us an idea of the kind of features and the kind of things that you like to hear on the Planet Rygate podcast. Each week we present our news and sports sequence. So here we go with this week's. A bus route which runs through the area is going to be extended to give a new connection to Gatwick. Service 420 currently runs from Sutton to Whitebushes.
However, it's now started to be extended to run via Hawley and Gatwick Airport South Terminal stopping in Crawley. It's Metrobus which operates the route. They say that the 420 will no longer serve white bushes, but the area will continue to be served by Route 460 instead.
Also in the news this week, well, we've got some more on the Dogs Public Space Protection Order for Reigate and Redhill that we mentioned a few weeks back. It's a fixed penalty notice of £80 if you don't follow the new rules. Now, you may be thinking to yourself, yeah, but they're probably quite straightforward and easy to understand. Well, you may need to.
