Summary
GoodGym is a community of people who get fit by doing good, running, walking and cycling to support local organisations with quick, physical tasksDetailed description
Are you interested in building networks in your community? Do you know of local charities and other organisations you'd like to support? Can you help set up the Great Yarmouth GoodGym group so the group can start having a positive impact, encouraging people to get active and improving well-being as soon as possible? Join the GoodGym Great Yarmouth Task Force to make it happen!
GoodGym is no ordinary gym. We are a community of people who get fit by doing good, running, walking and cycling to support local organisations with quick, physical tasks.
TaskForce are the GoodGymers who go the extra mile, to organise 30–60-minute tasks for community groups that need a hand. TaskForce provide a warm welcome to new GoodGymers, encouraging them to attend sessions and cultivate a sense of community amongst their group.
Tasks could include:
🥕 Shovelling compost in a school allotment to enable children to grow food
🥫 Sorting donations at a food bank to make sure food can be distributed to those who need it
🌳 Planting trees in a park to increase green space and biodiversity
You’ll enable hundreds, maybe thousands of hours of support for projects you care about.
❤️ You will increase well-being and improve fitness opportunities for people in Great Yarmouth.
✅ You will enable hundreds of hours of voluntary support to your chosen community projects.
🌱 You will improve the environment and biodiversity by helping green spaces.
We provide free, comprehensive training to learn how to find organisations to work with, build your community, and list volunteering opportunities on our online portal.
Once you’re trained, we ask that TaskForce contribute to their area just once every month, either by organising a session or by doing one of the other things listed above. GoodGym can fit around your schedule. Most sessions happen outside working hours, but you can arrange them for whenever works for you.
If you are interested, please get in touch!
