Community Mission Join us to help support Cambridge City Foodbank through Your Party Youth Cambridge's mutual aid initiative. YPYC collect foodbank donations in town every week and need our help getting them to the foodbank in East Chesterton.

We'll collect the donations and run, walk or cycle them over. It is 1.5km between collection and drop-off points. Please bring a backpack or similar to carry donated items.

📌 Join for the run and the task, or meet us directly at the task. At both meeting points you can't miss our red t-shirts!

  • For the run: Meet at Parkside Pools at 6pm. We will meet inside Parkside Pools where there are toilets and a bag drop. We'll warm up and then head out for a 2.5km jog/run, staying together as a group to head to the collection point.

  • For the task: Meet outside Stir (Chesterton Road, CB4 1BG) at 6:20pm.

💛 If it is your first time coming to GoodGym you are very welcome here - our friendly GoodGymers will be waiting to say hi!
