About this session

About this session

Hi everyone and welcome to GoodGym Greenwich!

We're a friendly and social group who combine running with volunteering in the local community. We meet every Wednesday to get active and do a physical task for charities and community organisations in the area.

The Task

So we're back with The Friends of Hervey Road Sports Field! We'll be busy with lots of tasks likely involving weeding, planting lots of lavender plants and watering.

The Run

We will run through Charlton Park to extend the run to 2-3km and will have a back marker so no one is left behind.

Where & When

We meet at 6.45pm for a 7 o'clock start at Charlton House on the corner of Hornfair Road. The session will be about 90 minutes in total so we should be all wrapped up by 8.30pm.

If you'd like to meet at the task, we should be there by 7.20pm. The address is Hervey Road Sports Field, 98 Hervey Rd, London SE3 8BU. The what-three-words location is "crate.films.vital".

What To Bring

Please bring some gloves if you have some, otherwise it's just yourself!

This task supports
Friends of Hervey Road Sports Field
to clear weeds on the perimeters of the Sports Field where we have planted little trees and want to sow wildflower seeds

protect and promote biodiversity where at present brambles, thistles and tuffets of grass and alkanet proliferate
