About this session
Want to do something useful with your weekly exercise? GoodGym Hounslow is a group of local residents who get fit by doing good.
This week, we are heading over to Chiswick High Road to support the fantastic local charity Abundance London! Abundance London does amazing work transforming neglected urban spaces into beautiful, biodiversity-rich pocket gardens and orchards. By turning concrete corners into vibrant green spaces, they help improve local air quality, create vital habitats for wildlife, and significantly boost the mental health and well-being of everyone living in and walking through our community. We will be helping them to plant bulbs in the planter beds to keep the High Road looking healthy and beautiful for everyone!
