Golders Green gym-goers are being encouraged to leave their chametz at the local LA Fitness centre.

The gym’s Jewish manager, John Blasebalk, is offering members and non-members guest vouchers in return for their unwanted foodstuffs. Unopened products will be donated to a homeless charity.

Mr Blasebalk reported “a positive response from the community and vouchers have already been handed out to several synagogues. We have a great many Jewish members and this is our chance to give something back.”
