GoodGym group runs, missions and social visits
ABOUT THIS PROGRAMME
GoodGym combines getting fit with doing good. Weekly group runs, walks and rides travel to community organisations to complete physical tasks; missions are one-off tasks for older people who can no longer do them alone; and social visits pair members with isolated older people ('coaches') for a weekly visit as part of their workout. Free to join and active in 71 areas across the UK.

PARTICIPANT VOICE
“"I love going round the city and being like - I did that... I dug that... I painted that. It is just that lovely sense of feeling you have done something good, you have done some exercise - it literally just covers everything." - Jenny, Bristol (published on GoodGym about page)”
