GoodGym
London, UK
Goodgym is a community of runners who combine exercise and volunteering. We run to help isolated older people and to do physical tasks for community projects. GoodGym makes it easy to do good while getting fit, we do this in 3 ways: Group runs - we run in groups to do physicial tasks for community organisations and charities Coach run - we run to make social visits to isolated older people who we call our 'coaches' because they motivate us to keep going. Mission runs - we run to help older people with one off tasks they can no longer do alone, such as changing lightbulbs or clearing gardens. We are currently raising money for our runners to complete environmental tasks. Proceeds will be used to pay for gloves, litter picking equipment and portable lights so our runners can work safely in the dark winter months.
