Launch of Good Gym Redbridge
18 July 2016
This newest London GoodGym is a part of a nationwide community of runners who get fit by doing good.Instead of lifting weights they shift earth for community gardens and help out with local physical tasks. Instead of running on treadmills they run tovisitisolated older people. You can find out all about them on their website atwww.goodgym.org/about
GoodGym Redbridgewas initiated by group of local residents.
The launch run is happening from Wanstead House Community Associationat 18.45 on Monday 25th July and they will be running from there to a local community allotment tohelp out. Thisunique project is aimed at helping children, young people and adults with learning difficulties. They need more volunteers to help to get the allotment up and running and what better way to exercise than by reaping the rewards of what you sow, literally!
