Care4Calais East LondonBack to help Care4Calais at their East London storage facility - perhaps for the last time!
Care4Calais has been using this storage space for the last 8 months or so to collect donated items and sort them out before distributing them out to families and individuals seeking asylum. They've been in touch recently to let us know that they're now having to move out and would like our help packing everything up. They will leave packing materials and instructions for us and we'll do as much as we can in the time available.
Where to meet:
For our Group Runs, we're currently meeting at 18:45 at the Aquatics Centre - usually just inside the main entrance or the benches outside if the weather's good. If you're new to GoodGym or our group in Newham, look out for anyone in a red GoodGym top and come and say hello! We love to meet new people and welcome all running abilities - there is a backmarker on every task to make sure no one gets left behind. We'll set off at about 18:55 and the run to this task is about 2 miles each way. Note that there are toilets that we can use at the Aquatics Centre, but no bag drop facilities at the moment.
You are also welcome to meet us at the task - we should be there by 19:15 and the address is:
Plashet Road Nursery, Upton Centre E13 0QB - meet by the gate at the intersection of Claude Road and Daisy Parsons Court.

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.
