PLEASE SIGN UP TO THIS TASK BY 9AM ON WEDNESDAY 6TH OCTOBER

Please also note that if you sign up YOU ARE NOT GUARANTEED A SPECIFIC SHIFT until a colleague from Swindon Borough Council contacts you directly. And due to the nature of this Community Mission; a lack of vaccine may mean that your shift can be cancelled at any time.

For those of you assigned to indoor roles, for example 'patient coordinator', a negative Lateral Flow Test result is also required 72-hours prior to volunteering.. Information about this will be given closer to the time via email.

We have been asked to help out and provide support at our local Covid-19 vaccination centre at STEAM. Can you spare a few hours to help out? If you can - please have a look at the shifts below and make a comment (below) as to which one suits you:

Thank you so much for your help and support with the COVID-19 vaccination programme.

We will be running approximately 1km in total to help with a litter picking task in and around Seven Fields Nature Reserve as well as the surrounding streets. We will be meeting with the wonderful Phil Jefferies who likes to keep the area nice and tidy ready for parkrunners on a Saturday morning. Litter picking equipment is being provided by Haydon Wick Parish Council; just don't forget your gloves, hand sanitiser, antibacterial wipes and a face covering should you need one.

It will be getting dark at around 6pm that evening, so please bring a head or body torch if you have one; autumn is officially here!

We will be meeting at 6pm just outside the Customer Service Hub at the Orbital Shopping Park*; just look out for us in the red and black GoodGym tops! After the task, we may be able to fit in a short exercise session before heading back to the Orbital.

Please note: This Group Run is Walkable, meaning that there will be one group of Walkers leaving the Orbital just after 6pm (led by a Task Force Member) and a second group of Runners leaving the Orbital at around 6:10pm (led by a Run Leader). Please also be aware that GoodGym runs are suitable for runners of all abilities. All our runs are backmarked and we never leave anyone behind.

*Please look out for our Run Leader, Simon who will meet you all outside the Customer Service Hub, near the Bus Station, at the Orbital Shopping Park.

Please note that for the time being, our Group Runs will start in various outdoor locations meaning that lockers, toilets and refreshment facilities may not be available before and after the Group Run. We hope that this will change in the future and that at some point soon we can return to a regular meeting point with facilities. For the meantime let's just enjoy meeting up again - we have a lot to catch up on 😊
