O HIYA! John is doing a DOC CHECKING PARTY* in the foyer of the National Theatre on Thursday 10 November at 18:30. It's a short walk from Waterloo / Blackfriars / Southwark train stations. Meet by the box office on the ground floor. John will be wearing his red GG t-shirt.

*will not resemble a party

Here is the info: Do you need to get your documents checked by GoodGym for your DBS check to go on Missions or be paired with a Coach? If so, come along to the National Theatre and meet John from GoodGym who can get this sorted for you. Checking your documents only take 5 minutes.

Please sign up by Wednesday 9 November at 18:00 so we can let John know who to expect. If you don't sign up, we can't guarantee there will be someone from GoodGym available to check your documents.

What documents can I bring?

In order to get Mission verified or to get paired to run to an older person each week, you need an enhanced DBS check with GoodGym. We need to see three documents to get your DBS check underway and the easiest combination is:

• valid passport
• valid driving licence photocard
• proof of current address i.e. bank statement or bank account opening letter (dated within last 3 months)/ utility bill (last 3 months)/ council tax bill (last 12 months)

What if I don't have these documents?

There are lots of other documents you can show us if you don't have these. Have a look on the DBS website for the full list of document combinations. Get in touch with coachteam@goodgym.org if you're not sure on what you can provide.

If all of your bills and statements are online, you'll need to contact your bank or utility provider to request a copy paper statement or bill to be sent to your home address (unfortunately DBS has confirmed we can't accept internet printouts). These can usually be sent to you within 7-10 days but best to check with your bank or provider.
