About this session
Get Rid Of & Donate is a group who repurpose people's unused clothes, bags and more. Every month they have had a clothing donation drive and they need to get it out to those who need it most.
Please feel free to meet me for a run from Hyde Park at 6:30, or directly at Zimbabwe House on the Strand at 7pm
We will meet Andrea outside Zimbabwe House on The Strand at 7pm to look out for the white van. This can be a bit of an intense task as people are understandably keen to get the stuff they need most. If you feel uncomfortable, please feel free to step away or speak to Andrea.
Usually people come up and take any clothes they need as well as a bag of essentials.
Please bring: 🧤 Gloves
Andrea who will be there to explain what to do has advised on bringing minimising personal belongings. She will give us a briefing when we arrive but of course don't do anything you don't feel comfortable with!
This is a special task that gets life essentials to rough sleepers, vulnerable people and those who need it most - you will be making a big difference.
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 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 us by email at ana@goodgym.org.
The total distance of this group run is 4km.
Remember that we will be running or walking to and from the task, so you'll only be running or walking for half this distance in one go.
