Quick litter pick at Galleons Art Centre

We are delighted to be working the new Galleons Art Centre in Barking to help prepare for their big re-opening after the Summer break.

GoodGym B&D have been tasked to help spruce up the front and back gardens to help community members feel welcome.

Our group sessions are open to everyone - if you're new to GoodGym please sign up and come along - we are inclusive and friendly, and we'll be pleased to see you!!

🧤 What We’ll Do

• Clear litter from the front and back garden

• Remove weeds

No experience needed! All tools and guidance will be provided on the day.

🕕 Timings

• 09:45 – 10:00 – Meet outside the Big Friendly Coffee cafe in Barking Park (not the lake entrance, the other side). Some GoodGymmers are taking part in Park Run from 9am so we will be walking / jogging from the park to the Arts Centre (2km)

👉 OR 👈

• 10:30 - Meet outside the Galleons Art Centre ready for the task breifing

• 10:35 - 11:10 – Task time!

• 11:10 – 11:15 – Wrap-up and high fives

• 11:15 – Finish

🌞 Why It Matters

Making the outside areas of the Galleons Art Centre look welcoming and safe is crucial to providing community members with the right first impression when visiting the centre

👋 Who You’ll Meet

Come along for a relaxed and friendly morning of volunteering – I hope to see you there!!
