About this session
Workout for Nature with WWF
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!
Join Friends of Cathedral Gardens, a local volunteer group who work to preserve and maintain these historic gardens for the enjoyment of all, now and in the future.
The focus for these sessions will be on sprucing up the gateways to the gardens at the entrances on Cathedral Gate and St James Road, cutting back over growth, weeding, litter picking and sweeping. We will also be working on increasing the spread of our snowdrop meadow, digging and redistributing the snowdrop bulbs and planting Primulas to create an even more magnificent display next Spring! 😍
This combined with litter picking and general tidying and cutting back around the cemetery gardens.
The Run Runners meet at the Suitcases on Hope Street ready for 6:30pm for a warm up and a run to the task. what3words location: https://what3words.com/normal.shirt.builds

Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym group run. You'll meet other GoodGymers at the start location and run to the task together. If you can't run for more than 15 minutes without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact your area activator Ema Quinn (She/her) by email at ema@goodgym.org.
Location
There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at the Hope Street Hotel, and the Hope Street Hotel and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
Come to the hotel entrance. Ask reception where to meet us if you can't see anyone in a red t-shirt.
