Starter Session: East Finchley to Finchley Central Toilets tour
Surveying community toilets to help public accessibility
Location

Date and time
18:45 - 20:30A great session for first time Goodgymmers!
Age UK Barnet are part of the London Loo Alliance, dedicated to making public spaces more accessible for people who need a toilet. This helps so many people - old and young, people with health conditions, pregnant women and many others who often have to change travel plans or cancel going out if routes aren't comfortable or safe.
Barnet has a cluster of four businesses signed up to the Community Toilet Scheme, two in East Finchley and two in Finchley Central. Goodgym has been asked to survey those businesses - so we're going to run the 6.3km circuit!
This is a great starter session for anyone thinking about getting more involved in Goodgym. We'll tour around a couple of our regular green spaces - Stephens House and Gardens and Long Lane Pasture. We'll visit community toilets to survey how accessible they are and ask staff what they know about the Community Toilet Scheme.
We're also flexible! If you want a shorter run, you can start at the Phoenix in East Finchley, run or walk with us to Finchley Central, and catch the tube back. Or you can meet us halfway at the King of Prussia and run with us to East Finchley and catch the tube back from there. Please let us know in the comments if you're doing this.
If you manage the full circuit, then you're welcome to stick around after for a drink and a chat, either at the Phoenix Cinema, where we get a 10% discount, or if there are lots of us, we might go to the White Lion pub.
If you want to walk, please say in the chat, so we can be sure to arrange a walking group as well.
The route: Phoenix Cinema (start and end point) King of Prussia (halfway point - meet here if you're joining for the return leg only) Ahir Lorenzos Maddens Bar Triple Two / Coffee Bank (may be closed!) Phoenix Cinema
We'll also share our live location in our WhatsApp group. If you're not in the group yet, please get in touch with Paul and ask to be added.
