Pedal and Plant at Goodgym Barnet

Community Mission Summary: Finchley Nature Green Space Hub

On Wednesday, 15th of May 2024, I and Asia participated in a Community mission at the Finchley Nature Green Space Hub, an inclusive climate and social action event held from 18:00 to 19:00. As part of my commitment, I cycled from my home to attend and engage with various community groups represented at the event, including Cherry Tree Woods Park, Coppetts Wood, and the Energy Garden. It was a pleasure to see many young families actively learning about the importance of greenspaces and their impact on our community.

The event began with a planting session at 4 pm at Albert Place, followed by an array of talks, activities, and a green market from 5 pm to 7 pm at Finchley Church End Library. The Finchley Sharing Space provided a platform for individuals to learn about gardening, growing their own food, and various volunteer opportunities. Participants also had the chance to swap plants, seeds, and gardening materials, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.

During my time at the hub, I had the opportunity to speak about GoodGym and the Tiny Forest Barnet, which will be hosting a community event this coming Sunday at 11 am. My talk highlighted how GoodGym integrates physical activity with community service, promoting health and well-being while making meaningful contributions to local greenspaces.

I highly encourage everyone to get involved in their local greenspaces. These areas are precious assets that provide numerous benefits, from enhancing biodiversity to offering recreational and educational opportunities. By participating in events like this, we can foster stronger community bonds and contribute to the well-being of our environment.

Join us at future events to make a difference and experience the joy of connecting with your community and nature. Together, we can create a sustainable and vibrant environment for all. - Next Event: Tiny Forest Barnet, Sunday at 11 am

Come along and be part of something great!
