GoodGym Richmond & Kingston Mega Mission for The Great Get Together and SPEAR's summer event

This is a community mission, a community led session where you will meet other GoodGym members at the task. Please make yourself known to anyone in a GoodGym top when you arrive. As with all GoodGym sessions we encourage you to use the power of your legs to get there, ie. run or walk if you can.

This weekend's community mission is partnered with The Great Get Together The Great Get Together is an initiative founded by the family and friends of Jo Cox who was killed on 16 June 2016, it was created to reject divisive politics and bring our communities together and celebrate all that unites us. This week all of our GoodGym sessions will be partnered with The Great Get Together so that up and down the country we can use our run to celebrate kindness, respect and all we have in common! #moreincommon

As GoodGym have been so fantastic helping with SPEAR events in the past, SPEAR are hoping you will be keen to help again at their next SPEAR event.

The charity mission is "to enable homeless people to access accommodation, and those at risk of homelessness to maintain their accommodation. To support all our service users to the point that they no longer need us." The task is helping set up their Art Fair and Garden Party held at Trumpeters House, Richmond on Sunday June 23rd.
