About this session
Important Information
This week, we will meet inside Thornhill Square Gardens to help the team with this awesome task. There is not a scheduled group run this week, but you are welcome to use the Arsenal Community Hub for bag drop, changing rooms and WC facilities.
Arsenal Community Hub, 56 Benwell Rd, London, N7 7BY
Elizabeth House Community Centre, in partnership with Islington Council, Highbury Quadrant Tenants and Residents Association, Highbury Councillors and community organisations transformed three unloved and unusable green spaces on Highbury Quadrant estate.
These green spaces have been designed into three distinct spaces, improving bio-diversity and the local environment. There is now a beautiful meadow, an orchard and woodland areas.

This is a GoodGym group run. You'll meet other GoodGymers at the start location and run to the task together. If you can't run for more than 15 minutes without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact your area activator Simon Fitzmaurice by email at simonfitzmaurice@goodgym.org.

Hi there. I'm new to GoodGym and see a bit of a mix of info on this session (group run/no run/Thornhill Sq). Could you please confirm if there is no run and we meet at Highbury Quadrant? Many thanks :)

Good evening everyone. Unfortunately, we have postponed our task at Highbury Quadrant Estate Gardens tomorrow evening, as our regular task owner, Frannie, is unwell. We will be back again next month. --------- However, I will be leading a group run from the Arsenal Community Hub at 6.45pm instead. Our intention is to visit Finsbury Park for a plogging (walking / running while collecting litter) session. We hope to hope to help with tidying up after a busy Summer Holiday weekend! If you are not joining us for the run, please feel free to meet us at 7.15pm at the Finsbury Park Skatepark. I will provide strong gardening gloves and rubbish bags.
