Who this task will support
Oxfam - Magdalen Street
Oxfam on Magdalen Street sorts kind donations from the public and sells them in our large charity shop! We take everything: books, clothes, homewares, music, DVDs, accessories and much more! All of the money raised goes to Oxfam to help them in their crucial work in ending poverty and injustice. Our shop is closing down for 3 weeks from 28th July for essential maintenance work to be carried out. This will involve taking absolutely EVERYTHING off of the huge shop floor (stock and shelves!) and taking it into storage in the backrooms of the shop. We rely entirely on volunteers and we anticipate this being a huge job, so any help that we can get on either Saturday 28th July or Sunday 29th July from GoodGym will be much appreciated!!! Everything has to be cleared by the end of Sunday 29th to allow builders access from first thing Monday 30th July!

Tonight we are returning to Oxfam store help sort donations and claer out old stock. You never know you might find a bargain!

We'll meet at The Forum at 6.15pm and aim to arrive at the task at 6.30pm.

For those who want to meet directly at the task the adress is Oxfam, 8-10 Magdalen St, NR3 1HU. It's 1km each way.

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.

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 2km and 2km 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.

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 The Forum, and The Forum and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages
