Who this task will support
Martin Way Methodist Church
Christian CARE is a charity working in the London Borough of Merton. They are a group of 60 volunteers from 16 different churches offering help to anyone whatever their race, colour or religion. Each year over 100 families, whose lives are in crisis, are supported. They are always in need of food, clothes and furniture, so please follow the link to their website for further details and their latest requirements.

The Community Garden Project grows vegetables for the church activities and the community. Over the seasons the garden has lots of different jobs and this has become one of our regular sessions. As the evenings get darker, our host Abby has said she will find us indoor tasks to do, such as painting planters, although it's possible there may also be outdoor jobs too.

We will meet outside The Leather Bottle for a 2-3km run there and return run back after the task. If you prefer to make your own way there we will arrive for 7pm at the task at Martin Way Methodist Church, Buckleigh Ave, SW20 9JZ. (Note, some members have found themselves at the nearby Baptist Church instead. Make sure you head for the right place unless you want to end up in a yoga class!)

New to GoodGym?

This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.

New GoodGymers are welcome to GoodGym group runs - no one gets left behind. You're unlikely to be alone, hundreds of new people sign up every week.

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

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

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us or see if there's a starter session coming up in your area.
