Who this task will support
YMCA Brighton - Fred Emery Court
We have prevented homelessness in Brighton and Hove for over 150 years. We support our clients on a pathway towards fulfilled and empowered living, across housing and support services. Many young people have never known these things; other people have lost one or more as they grew up, but we all need them. All of us. At YMCA, we provide these critical foundations for a fresh, strong start for young people and a better quality of life in the community.

YMCA Fred Emery Court is supported housing hosting 31 people, some with mobility impairment, in accessible studio flats. They made an application for receiving some bulbs, and now they would like GoodGym Brighton to plant them! What a nice way to help charity YMCA to get ready for next spring!

โ“ What is the Task?

We'll be:

  • Plant bulbs
  • Clear weeds
  • Keep space tidy

๐Ÿ“ Where?

  • Meet @ 18:00 to leave no later than 18:15 at our Brighton meetup at the Victoria Statue, in Victoria Gardens - (*! mind a bit earlier than usual * because the day light is shortening fast);
  • Late comers join us from 18:30 in Fred Emery Court, 6-16 Sillwood Street, Brighton, BN1 2NN

๐Ÿงค Anything Else I Need to Know?

  • Garden gloves
  • Headtorch,
  • some more bulbs to donate!

Happy GoodGyming!

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

Options are available to run between 3km and 5km in total

Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
