Who this task will support
The UP Garden
We are transforming a 900sqm disused laundry yard in a council housing estate into a free-to-access community garden and play space focussing on upcycled materials. It will be a place for everyone to learn about gardening, biodiversity and eco-sustainability in a social environment, whilst the open play space will include play equipment that – unlike typical playgrounds – has multiple uses to encourage creative interaction. Together, they provide different levels of exercise, and the opportunity for our younger and older generations to socialise outdoors, improving physical and mental health.

A welcome return to the wonderful UpGarden an old disused laundry area which has been given a new lease of life.

Task TBC

If you're new to GoodGym or to our group in Newham, for our Group Runs we meet just inside the entrance to the Aquatics Centre at 18:45 - just look out for anyone in a red t-shirt and come and say hello. We love to meet new people! You're welcome to run at whatever pace you feel comfortable and there are always back markers to make sure no one is left behind.

There are toilets at the Aquatics Centre, but currently no bag drop facilities.

The run from the Aquatics Centre to the UpGarden is about 2 miles each way, but you are also welcome to meet us at the task - we should be there by 19:15 and the address is: The Up Garden Eric Close Forest Gate E7 0AY

New to GoodGym?

This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.

New GoodGymers are welcome to GoodGym group runs - no one gets left behind. You're unlikely to be alone, hundreds of new people sign up every week.

There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at London Aquatics Centre , and London Aquatics Centre & GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses / damages.
