Who this task will support
YMCA - Brighton
We have prevented homelessness in Brighton and Hove for over 150 years. We support our clients on a pathway towards fulfilled and empowered living, across housing and support services. Many young people have never known these things; other people have lost one or more as they grew up, but we all need them. All of us. At YMCA, we provide these critical foundations for a fresh, strong start for young people and a better quality of life in the community.

Providing a nice environment is key for progress and a sense of belonging for the YMCA residents at Stanley Court. Since our first visit here, YMCA managed to involve its residents in making the back garden a green and creative space that they liked to hang out in. Now, the bind weed and plants are taking over again and they need our help to get it clear. Let's return for some GoodGym action!

โ“ What is the Task?

We will help with:

  • Clearing sedge grass and weeds,
  • Cutting back ivy,
  • Removing old fuchsia and trimming overgrown hedging.
  • Piling up broken patio slabs for disposal;
  • Digging soil;
  • Having Good time together ๐Ÿ˜Š

๐Ÿ“ When and Where?

  • If running as a group, meet at 6:15pm @ Queen's Victoria Statue (Victoria Gardens), in Brighton to leave soon after and no later than 6:30pm;
  • If late, meet from 18:45 at the task at Stanley Court 78-81 Lewes Road, Brighton, BN2 3JZ

๐Ÿงค Anything Else I Need to Know?

  • Bring garden gloves;
  • If late/can't find us, contact the Area Activator or the Task Force task lead via our WhatsApp group.

Happy GoodGym-ing!

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

Options are available to run between 2km and 4km in total

Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
