Get ready to spread some serious holiday cheer! We are heading over to the beautiful St Saviour's Church Battersea to help them transform their space ready for Christmas. It is a festive indoor task that will make a big impact for the community.

What We Are Doing

St Saviour’s is a welcoming hub on Battersea Park Road. They build connections across the local community to tackle loneliness, hosting initiatives like the Battersea Park Community Choir and Global Women friendship networks, alongside creative youth programs.

They want the interior to feel as joyful and festive as possible for the local families and residents who use the space. Our job is to help put up their Christmas decorations and several hundred metres of string lights - its time to test how organised we were when we put them away in January!

We will wrap up the task and dive straight into a fun, inclusive fitness session. Expect a mix of movement designed for all abilities to leave you feeling strong.

Key Details

• 📍 Meeting Point: Battersea Arts Centre, SW11 5TN (or meet us directly at the church at 18:50 if preferred!) • 👚 What to wear: Comfortable running/workout gear • 🎒 Bags: There is a safe space to change at our start location, but please travel light as we don’t have secure bag storage. • 👤 All abilities welcome: We always have a back-marker, so no one ever gets left behind!

Come along for a truly joyful task that makes a wonderful positive impact on our local community. See you there!

5km total distance

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.

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 Battersea Arts Centre, and Battersea Arts Centre and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
