About this session
We'll meet at Heart (Assembly Bar & Kitchen) at 6pm & then go for a 3-4K run followed by a craft project for CAMHS. If you want to just do the crafts, please meet in Heart's cafe at around 6.40.
Paper chain Project -
During Christmas 2023, inspired by two of our CAMHS experienced volunteer elves, we ran a paper chain making project. GoodGym Leeds did this activity in 2024 & it went down so well in CAMHS units that we’re going to do it again in 2025!
Our paper chains are a team effort - they will be started by members of the public (like GoodGym Leeds), and then the young people will connect them together when they arrive in the CAMHS units. Each paper chain will have a cheesy cracker joke written on the inside (we need you to do that bit too!) to add an extra bit of fun during assembly.
Paper chains, as well as being awesome decorations that are suitable for most CAMHS units, symbolise connectedness. For young people in CAMHS units it’s really important to feel connected to the outside world and to not feel forgotten. Making these special paper chains, which will be a team effort between the community and the young people on CAMHS wards, is a real opportunity to provide a tangible reminder of that we are all still connected despite everything.

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 your area activator Laura by email at lauracope@goodgym.org.
Options are available to run between 4km and 5km in total.
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.
Led by Laura
We are a friendly group who meet every Wednesday evening at 6pm. We also have at least one other session in the week. Newcomers welcome!
