About the task
ℹ️ Summary
Library of Things operate a London-based network of lockers stocked with useful tools like drills and carpet cleaners which people can hire rather than buying new. LoT are keen for more people to discover this service before Black Friday and Christmas shopping mania kicks in.
All GoodGym volunteers joining this session will be given a LoT discount on borrowing too.
- Meet at The Pavilion by MyTime Active at 18:15 (please note the earlier time)
- Area Activator Sam will lead a gentle run or walk
- At approx 18:45 we'll arrive at the Greener & Cleaner Hub inside The Glades
- From there we will set off distributing flyers in neighbouring streets
- After 45 min we'll reconvene for a gentle run or walk back to base
For the run, all paces are welcome. Nobody will get left behind. We'll have back markers and an optional walking group if you'd prefer to go slow.

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 Sam Rider - Bromley Area Activator (he/him) by email at samrider@goodgym.org.
Options are available to run between 3km 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.
