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.

The Task

We're going to help out the Friends of Woolwich Common who meet each month to pick litter and to protect this beautiful land. They'll have plenty of bags and pickers so just bring some gloves with you. Fun fact: if you register to be an Environmental Champion at waste.advisors@royalgreenwich.gov.uk you can also get your own pickers from the council.

The Run

The run will be about 3km through Charlton Park, Maryon Wilson Park and Woolwich Common. You're welcome along at any pace - we never leave anyone behind!

Where & When

We'll meet at 10.15am for a 10.30am start in Charlton Park by the Old Cottage Coffee Shop. The litter pick will end at 12pm in Woolwich Common.

You're welcome to skip the run and meet at the common - the group will gather opposite the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on the common at 11am. Just please drop a note in the comment to let me know if you're meeting us there.

What to bring

Please bring some water and gloves if you have some, otherwise it's just yourself.

This task supports

We are a group of volunteers seeking to protect, preserve and campaign for Woolwich Common, a large green space in the Royal Borough in Greenwich, London.

This is a GoodGym group run, with the option of walking too. You'll meet other GoodGymers at the start location and run or walk to the task together. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact your area activator Rachel Henry by email at rachelhenry@goodgym.org.
