Who this task will support
Slough Refugee Support - Maidenhead Depot
Slough Refugee Support – SRS – is a registered charity focused exclusively on the needs of refugees and asylum seekers. Established in 1997, we welcome and offer practical help to some of the most marginalised people in the local community - helping them with the many obstacles they face in their efforts to settle, contribute and thrive in the UK. Our philosophy and approach is rooted in the belief that refugees want and need to achieve self-reliance and independence as soon as they can. Our core programme is based around drop-in advice sessions and follow-up casework to resolve identified issues.

Cancelled

Please note that this group run has been cancelled.

Slough Refugee Support have been overwhelmed with donations, but sadly a huge proportion are not fit for purpose. On this evening's group run/walk we will head to their depot in Maidenhead to help them clear their donations mountain.

As this is an indoor task, the GoodGym Covid-19 guidance calls for face masks to be worn.

We will start the evening with a welcome and briefing in the Homebase car park on Stafferton Way. Our run or walk will take us onto the Greenway (the bit covered by Maidenhead parkrun), so head torches are a must! The distance will be 2-4km, depending on how far and fast you want to go. We welcome all fitness levels and will make sure no one is left on their own.

We'll then head to John West House on Howarth Road, where we will help Keriann with the mother of all donations mountains!

We'll finish with a fun fitness session and stretches before the short hop back to Homebase to say farewell.

Can't wait to see you there!

Hi Everyone,

I am unwell so have very reluctantly been forced to cancel this group run. However please don't worry! The group run is being replaced with a community mission with the same task and an option for a social run beforehand so you can sign up for that instead and still do good and get fit. Don't forget Sheila and Jess will be celebrating their 100th good deeds this evening, so you've got to be there!
Here is the community mission listing to sign up:

I am so so sorry to miss out on this evening but I hope you all have a wonderful time.
