GoodGym Barnet at the Golders Green Wellbeing Fair
I represented GoodGym Barnet at the local Community Information and Wellbeing Fair, held at the famous Golders Green Hippodrome — an amazing venue bringing together charities, health services and community organisations working to support the wellbeing of people across Barnet.
There was a great mix of stalls and conversations, including health clinics offering blood pressure checks and advice about this “silent killer”. The event provided a really useful opportunity for cross-fertilisation between organisations, as well as for members of the public to find out what support, activities and volunteering opportunities are available locally.
I had several productive conversations about GoodGym and how we help people get active while supporting charities and community groups. One particularly interesting discussion was around encouraging people who may be unemployed, isolated, or looking to improve their mental health to get moving through volunteering, exercise and meeting like-minded people who want to help their local community.
It was a great chance to spread the word about GoodGym Barnet: getting fit, doing good, and connecting people through practical community action.
