Let's make a difference to some older people in our community this Christmas.

Meet us at One Strawberry Lane for a short festive walk and Christmas card writing session! We are meeting to write (or make!) Christmas cards for local residential homes. Just think - this might be the only card an isolated older person might receive this Chistmas.

For this session, we are asking you to bring along a pack or two of Christmas cards that we'd love you to buy from a charity shop or card shop that offers charity cards- Scribbler, Clintons and many supermarkets have this option. If you want to bring materials along and get creative, that's obviously ok too! After the session, we will mix the cards up and you will take a set away to deliver to a local residential home of your choice.

We’ll also have an optional festive get together afterwards, listed separately as a GoodGym party.

Walkable

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

2km total distance

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.
