Networking Sanctuary event for Goodgym and the Tiny Forest concept

This Barnet Council networking event takes place on the 2nd of May from 11am to 3pm at Hendon Leisure Centre. Goodgym is there to share ways asylum seekers and refugees can get involved with volunteering activities in Barnet, through our missions and sessions.

The event has been organised by Lucy from Barnet Council and Robin in the Volunteering Barnet Team

We think Goodgym have something to offer along with Barnet Tiny Forest.

We need GoodGym members to man a table to talk about our activities and OR just come along to find out more about this event on Volunteering Please come along even if you can only stay for a little while. Please sign up and leave a comment on how long you can stay so other people can join you.

Goodgym looks to promote sustainable activities in our community.

We do this by physically supporting local green spaces. Building fitness and resilience in our members. Encouraging active travel. Cycling walking, running. Discover and engage with our local environment and its communities.

What’s my motivation? If we physically engage with our environment (and its communities) studies show it improves our sense of well being and connection. Active travel improves our health and of the environment.

What’s the bigger picture? Check out this TED talk. Please DO LOOK UP!
