Today, Levita and I headed down to a Meet and Greet event with Kingston’s local Councillors and a ton of brilliant voluntary groups from across the borough. It was the perfect chance to get out there and chat about all the ways GoodGym can lend a hand to organisations doing amazing work in our community!

It was great to catch up with some of our long-standing partners. Always a treat to see the familiar faces at Staywell, Kingsgate Food Pantry, KVA’s Surplus to Supper Hub, Save the World, and Refugee Action Kingston.

We also got to mingle with plenty of new groups to brainstorm future team-ups and hand out leaflets. We connected with:

• Kingston Association for the Blind
• The London Buddy Scheme
• Learn English at Home (LEAH)
• Kingston Carers Network
• The Kingston Society
• Malarum Ithayangal CIC Tamil Women’s Community Group
• Balance Support CIO
• Kingston Voluntary Action (KVA)
• Shine Bright UK
• Kingston Eco-Op
• Superhighways
• Connected Kingston
• Kingston Community Football

Whether we were convincing folks to lace up their trainers and join us for a run, or finding new ways our volunteers can help out local residents, it was such an inspiring day!
