About this session
Welcome to WWF x GoodGym’s Workout for Nature
From 7th April WWF and GoodGym are collaborating on hundreds of sessions to celebrate Earth Day. Each session will involve a Workout for Nature - a physical volunteering activity which will benefit local green spaces, and give your own wellbeing a boost. Simply sign up below and come along. No experience required!
The Togetherness Community Centre has recently upgraded a very unloved and under-used garden space at the back of the centre. They are in need of volunteers to help clear the accumulation of rubbish as a result of the revamp and to assist with low level maintenance of the garden and front garden. They are also creating a vertical garden from pallets over the next few months, so we may well be involved in that too! Bring gardening gloves if you have any.
