Important Information

This week, we will meet inside Thornhill Square Gardens to help the team with this awesome task. There is not a scheduled group run this week, but you are welcome to use the Arsenal Community Hub for bag drop, changing rooms and WC facilities.

Arsenal Community Hub, 56 Benwell Rd, London, N7 7BY


Elizabeth House Community Centre, in partnership with Islington Council, Highbury Quadrant Tenants and Residents Association, Highbury Councillors and community organisations transformed three unloved and unusable green spaces on Highbury Quadrant estate.

These green spaces have been designed into three distinct spaces, improving bio-diversity and the local environment. There is now a beautiful meadow, an orchard and woodland areas.

Hi there. I'm new to GoodGym and see a bit of a mix of info on this session (group run/no run/Thornhill Sq). Could you please confirm if there is no run and we meet at Highbury Quadrant? Many thanks :)

Hi Deirdre. I am about to post a message about this session now.

Good evening everyone.

Unfortunately, we have postponed our task at Highbury Quadrant Estate Gardens tomorrow evening, as our regular task owner, Frannie, is unwell. We will be back again next month.

---------

However, I will be leading a group run from the Arsenal Community Hub at 6.45pm instead.

Our intention is to visit Finsbury Park for a plogging (walking / running while collecting litter) session. We hope to hope to help with tidying up after a busy Summer Holiday weekend!

If you are not joining us for the run, please feel free to meet us at 7.15pm at the Finsbury Park Skatepark.

I will provide strong gardening gloves and rubbish bags.
