The team set up next to the bandstand at and then helped Sustainable Merton and Paw Wash with the signage for the fundraising walk and other activities around the site, that were going on throughout the day.
Then it was time to spread the word about GoodGym whilst playing trainer-pong, with the donated trainers we were collecting to send to JOGNON! As we did a bit of leafletting and engaged passers-by, we also helped with directing dog walkers to the Sustainable Merton stand for their fundraising walk finisher packs.
It was great to connect with new faces and even meet a few people who've already signed up to Goodgym but haven't made it to a task yet. Mission accomplished - the word is spreading! A big thanks to Rachael for her support throughout the whole day and a massive shoutout to Rhian who joined us for her first task and the other sessions too.

As Merton's local environmental charity, we aim to inspire, mobilise and enable our community to take action on climate change and protect our environment for future generations. Sustainability and wellbeing go hand in hand, so our projects address both environmental and social goals, such as addressing the cost of living crisis and strengthening community connections. We believe that a happier, healthier, more connected community is one that will have the greatest impact.
