The Good Gym

[afruitcake]

Hi everyone

I recently came across The Good Gym - a project running in Tower Hamlets that pairs runners with isolated less-mobile people in their area. It helps people get fit (by providing a good reason to go for a run) and helps the person being visited (by providing them with some friendly human contact). There are also monthly group runs that include a community-focused activity, for example planting trees or tidying up community centres.

I?ve been talking to the people behind The Good Gym about extending the scheme to our area, and would be really interested to hear what other residents think of the idea. Would you be interested in joining a group run? Visiting someone in your area on a regular basis? Or maybe you could suggest a community centre, school or library who could benefit from the help of a group of willing runners?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts...
