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.

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

Where to meet

Meet outside Coventry Boys and Girls Club at 6.15. There is on street parking but if you struggle to find a space you can use the clubs car park. There is cycle parking a bit further down on the opposite side of the road. Toilet facilities available.

If you have any questions please pop them in the comments section below or email lauradenham@goodgym.org

Look forward to seeing you there!
