Saffron Acres Community HeathlandWelcome to GoodGym Leicester!
We’re a community of people who keep fit by doing good.
About the session
We will be meeting at Saffron Acres the side closest to Aylestone Recreation Park.
We'll help with the gardening this can be cutting back hedges, digging or there is also the option for light weeding, just general helping on what ever the exciting project they are working on at the time,
Afterwards there will be the option to try out Aylestone rec's outdoor fitness equipment or complete a few extra laps of the 1km loop used for Junior parkrun.
The task
We are always looked after by Jack who will be able to tell us exactly what we are doing, there are always jobs that are lighter than the heavier going digging. Previous tasks have been things like watering the tomatoes, creating a beer garden and cutting back bushes.
What you need to bring
Yourself, please wear clothes suitable for running in and trainers you don’t mind getting a little dirty.
Plenty of gloves provided but if you wish to wear your own feel free to. Warm layers as this is an outdoor task hat, gloves, jacket, jumper.
