Date and time
18:30 - 20:00Join the Sunlight Society and GoodGym at a special session as we join forces to get active, do good and feel great!
Tonight we will be helping out in the garden of the historic St James' church in Piccadilly. We will be using our workout to help transform the space. Tasks will include moving bags of leaf mould, chopping up twigs and branches, decanting compost and doing a good sweep up to make the garden as welcoming, clean and safe as possible for everybody to enjoy. This is a spiritual space where everybody is welcome - it is known for its unique history and beauty, creativity and the arts, and its commitment to social justice.
This is a great opportunity to use your workout to benefit our local communities.
