Food Union grows food for the vegan cafe, the Pod with values of connecting for good. Food Union was founded in 2014 and is one of the Pod’s citywide social activism programs that exists to create conversation and action around food.

Welcome to GoodGym Coventry! We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet regularly to get active and do a physical task to help the charities, community organisations and projects in our area.

The Task:

We will be helping out at the Food Union's Sherbourne Valley allotment carrying out general maintenance including digging, weeding and tidying. Previous tasks have involved raking, weeding beds and planting edibles flowers and soft fruits.

This is listed as a community mission therefore we will meet at the task location. You should get a good work out during the task, as allotments involve a lot of graft, however you could get your training session in by running, cycling or walking to and from the task.

Please bring gloves if you have them

Where to meet:

Food Union, Sherbourne Valley allotments off Four Pounds Avenue (The entrance to the allotments is half way between Pavillion Way and Sunnyside Close) There is minimal parking therefore if you do decide to drive then it would be best to park on Sunnyside Close.

Look forward to seeing you there!
