Who this task will support
YMCA Brighton - Fred Emery Court
We have prevented homelessness in Brighton and Hove for over 150 years. We support our clients on a pathway towards fulfilled and empowered living, across housing and support services. Many young people have never known these things; other people have lost one or more as they grew up, but we all need them. All of us. At YMCA, we provide these critical foundations for a fresh, strong start for young people and a better quality of life in the community.

YMCA Fred Emery Court is supported housing hosting 31 people, some with mobility impairment, in accessible studio flats. Their garden needs a bit of attention as they haven't had any time to do the weeding for a while.

โ“ What is the Task?

We will:

  • Clear weeds
  • Plant bulbs (possibly)
  • Keep the space tidy.

๐Ÿ“ Where?

  • Meet @ 18:15 to leave no later than 18:30 at our Brighton meetup at the Victoria Statue, in Victoria Gardens;
  • Late comers join us from 18:40 in Fred Emery Court, 6-16 Sillwood Street, Brighton, BN1 2NN

๐Ÿงค Anything Else I Need to Know?

  • Garden gloves
  • Headtorch,
  • bulbs to donate!

Happy GoodGyming!

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

Options are available to run between 3km and 5km in total

Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
