Ben has Asperger’s Syndrome, and came to the UK from Hungary aged 12. He is a former student who now works at Action For Kids as a Fundraising Assistant. Ben went with Action For Kids to the City of London Lord Mayor’s Show.
I met some students and staff of Action For Kids (AFK) in Moorgate for Mayor show in cafe place. We all had hot drink.
It was great day because great weather, great people.
We started at barbican. AFK went to mayor show AFK mini bus came.
Feeling fruity
Started about 11.30 bus was decorated with fruit because the theme was fit for life for day. AFK wants healthy diet. I wore hat with banana i represend bananas.
The Action For Kids team!
We walked on procession half way break. I held AFK banner with Hisba. Hisba is student.
We wore fruits we all dressed up. We were holding flags and waving it.
Sally Bishop is founder of AFK. Sally’s daughter Jo came with baby daughter. Weather was good. My mum kept telling me to buy umbrella. People involved in Mayor Show walked and walked and walked.
Walking the procession
Had cold lunch sandwich water crips. Lot of people watched. Crowds watched Lord Mayor show.
AFK minibus came on procession while we walked. We were filmed at Bank by BBC1.
I did not wait for fireworks which was good because I did not wait until 17.00.
I am looking forward to next year’s Mayor Show good exercise, good day out.
