Who this task will support
Kairos WWT Garden Sanctuary Space
Kairos Women Working Together supports women who are at risk of or have experienced sexual exploitation or are involved in on street prostitution in Coventry. Kairos WWT provides both holistic one to one support, as well as group support to women. We run a weekly evening outreach and drop-in for women involved in on-street prostitution. We also have a specialist housing practitioner, supporting women who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. As well as criminal justice workers, supporting women to navigate the criminal justice system. Kairos WWT's women's centre offers a safe place for women to get support, get access to basic provisions, as well as be listened to, and access emotional support. We need help to strip and redo our garden area, currently not in use, to create a peaceful and therapeutic space for the women to relax in, as well as learn to garden, care for plants, and hopefully one day, cook food with what they have grown.

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:

This week we will be returning to Kairos WWT, alongside Team Springboard CIC, to help with the revamp of their garden project. Please bring a pair of gardening gloves with you and wear sturdy shoes.

Kairos WWT was set up in April 1999 to reach out to a group of women that were perceived to be marginalised and vulnerable; women that were caught up in street prostitution. It was recognised that there were many complex issues that bound the women to prostitution and that there was a clear need for a dedicated project that could build relationships with these women and broker the provision of mainstream services that all too often fail to reach the women.

The Run/walk:

GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities and it is often possible to walk to the task if you would prefer. 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. There is also the option to meet us closer to the start of the task if you prefer.

The run will be from Coventry Boys and Girls club CV1 2DS to Kairos CV2 4EB

Where to meet

Coventry Boys and Girls Club in Whitefriars Street - there is free on-street parking right outside but if you are able to we would encourage you to walk, run or cycle to the meeting point. There is cycle parking nearby.
