GoodGym – a volunteer group that helps individuals and groups with physical tasks in Southampton.

About this , opportunity

Southampton GoodGym have been up and running for a month now. We help local organisations and groups to improve their communities and environments. This could be with litter picking, planting, weeding, painting, and lots more. The aim is to keep fit while doing good so we incorporate fitness such as walking or running into our sessions too.

Please see link below to “request a task” if you know of a project/group we can help with, see more information about volunteering with us, and see previous reports for tasks we’ve helped with so far. We are currently looking for tasks for Monday evening from July onwards, but can also organise weekend tasks too.

Please share with any organisations you know that we could help or anyone you think might like to volunteer with us. If you know of any areas in need of some TLC please let us know.

We will be Parkrun Southampton Common on Saturday 24th June if anyone would like to come and meet us to find out more.
