Can you dig it? Working at a community garden in Wavertree

Welcome to GoodGym Liverpool
We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every week to get active and do a physical task to help the charities and community organisations and projects in our area.
The Task:
Spring is here and we're heading to an amazing community garden, surprising located right on Wavertree High Street. Maintained by a wonderful group of elders called the Wavertree Society, we were so warmly welcomed when we visited last year and are keen to return.
Tasks will mostly be general garden maintenance including sweeping, cutting back shrub, digging, hoeing and removing moss from paths.
The Run:
GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities, we always have a back-marker so no-one is left behind - we're about achieving something together so you'll always be welcome no matter what your pace is. This week however, we are running one of our longest distances, around 8km (4km each way). So while this is a great session for returner runners, if that sounds a bit much for you at the moment, then check keep an eye out for shorter runs on 13 April and 20 April.
This is an outdoor gardening task and depending on the weather it could be messy. With that in mind, don't wear your best kit and make sure you bring some decent gardening gloves.
Get signing-up folks!
*GoodGym Liverpool meets inside the Hope Street Hotel, usually in a lower ground floor meeting room. Ask at reception for details. We meet from 18:00 and leave for our run at 18:30, returning at 20:00. *

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.

There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at the Hope Street Hotel, and the Hope Street Hotel and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
Come to the hotel entrance. Ask reception where to meet us if you can't see anyone in a red t-shirt.

Group run cancellation
Following extensive research, consultation with our trustees and work on how GoodGym as a community can play a positive role during the Coronavirus outbreak we have reached the conclusion to make extensive changes to our operations.
**All group runs will stop for the foreseeable future**
This decision has been made as these are the events at which most people gather and at which we are most at risk of spreading infection.
We will continue to update this page with our most up to date guidance:
