Who this task will support
Ladybarn Community Hub
Ladybarn Community Hub is a thriving community centre in the heart of Ladybarn, and we run a variety of groups such as coffee mornings, choirs and over 50s lunch clubs as well as hosting other organisations like youth groups and churches and offering venue hire for the local community.

We are joining Ladybarn Community Hub for their weekly gardening volunteering session to help paint their outer fence at their site.

As we are painting, wear clothes you don't mind getting splashes of paint on.

We will run from the Whitworth Art Gallery on Oxford Road (What3Words: ///smiles.tree.wiping) for the 3 km run down, or feel free to meet directly at the task site. We will be running back afterwards too. Please comment below or message via the WhatsApp community if you're going direct (address below).

Address for meeting directly at the task: Ladybarn Community Hub, Ladybarn Community Centre, Royle St, Manchester M14 6RN or What3words: ///maps.talent.corn

Sounds like a friendly group with lots going on locally, and there maybe more tasks to come or do feel free to go along for their volunteering sessions in future.

About GoodGym

We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every week to get active and do a physical task to help the charities and community organisations and projects across the Manchester region.

The Run/Walk/Cycle

GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities. We always have a back-marker so no-one is left behind - we're about achieving something together so you'll always be welcome no matter what your pace is.

Our run/walk will begin at ~5:05 pm from Whitworth Art Gallery.

Dress appropriately for the outdoor conditions.

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.

Options are available to run between 3km and 6km in total

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
