Getting there

For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!

    About this session

    What could volunteering in Portsmouth look like in 100 years?

    We’ll meet at Victoria Park - outside The Greenhouse at 5.30pm for a 1 mile run or walk to Aspex Gallery in Gunwharf for a 6pm start.

    Join GoodGym Portsmouth for a creative and interactive workshop exploring the future of volunteering and community action. Using photographs, storytelling and group discussion, we'll reflect on what makes volunteering meaningful today and imagine how community action could grow and thrive into the future. Please bring along a photograph (printed or on your phone) that represents community, connection or volunteering to you. We'll use these images to spark conversations about what works well, what should be protected, and what new possibilities might exist for future generations. This is a welcoming session open to existing GoodGym volunteers and anyone interested in community action, volunteering or local connection.

    What to look out for

    Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.

    This is a GoodGym community mission. When we're doing a community mission we make our own way to the task, so you can choose to walk, run, or cycle. Thinking of cycling - check out our FAQs

    This session is organised by your Taskforce, a group of experienced GoodGym members in your area. They are not responsible for your safety. You should feel confident to participate in the session as it is described and you do so at your own risk.
