Rachel and Liz went on a mission to meet the guests at the Refugee Action Kingston health day. We set up our stall using a large GoodGym flag and decorated it with all the GoodGym merch we could find. Turns out that between us we have quite the selection of t-shirts!
Over the course of 2h30 we met lots of people and spread the word of all the amazing things we are doing in Kingston and Richmond, promoted the health benefits of running/walking, and encouraged people to come and try out our groups.
In between all the promotion, we chatted about potential collaborations and generally put the world to rights.
Such a lovely way to spend a lunchtime. We’ll come and visit you in Richmond soon, Liz!

Refugee Action Kingston has been supporting refugees and asylum-seekers in and around Kingston-Upon-Thames for over 30 years. Against an increasingly challenging backdrop both in the UK and abroad, we have sought to be a positive source of support for our clients. One that focusses on matching the ambitions of our clients and their needs. We provide our clients with a wide range of support, from initial emergency assistance to long-term integration. Research confirms what we see every day: that language, employment, and housing have the biggest impact on refugee integration.
