Who this task will support
TWIGS Community Gardens
TWIGS Community Gardens are a colourful and vibrant set of gardens in the heart of Swindon. They are managed by TWIGS as a resource to give people who experience mental health problems the chance to regain confidence, self-esteem and to learn new skills.


Our help is needed again at TWIGS Community Gardens. We were here back (in the rain β˜”οΈ) in May - check at this report!. TWIGS people with mental health problems can regain confidence, self-esteem and learn new skills while gardening. Our job is to help maintain their allotments. It is so exciting to help out here as the service TWIGS provides is so needed by the local community.

We will be meeting at 6pm just outside B&Q*; just look out for us in the red and black GoodGym tops! After the task, we may be able to fit in a short exercise session before heading back to B&Q.

Please note: This Group Run is Walkable, meaning that there will be one group of Walkers leaving B&Q just after 6pm (led by a Task Force Member) and a second group of Runners leaving B&Q at around 6:10pm (led by a Run Leader). Please also be aware that GoodGym runs are suitable for runners of all abilities. All our runs are backmarked and we never leave anyone behind.

*Please look out for our Run Leader, Emma who will meet you all at the front entrance of B&Q.

Please note that for the time being, our Group Runs will start in various outdoor locations meaning that lockers, toilets and refreshment facilities may not be available before and after the Group Run. We hope that this will change in the future and that at some point soon we can return to a regular meeting point with facilities. For the meantime let's just enjoy meeting up again - we have a lot to catch up on 😊

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.

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

4km total distance

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

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.

Ideal for beginners
