AfC Albany Outdoors
Achieving for Children (AfC) is a community interest company (a not-for-profit social enterprise). Albany Outdoors deliver children's services for Kingston, Richmond and Windsor and Maidenhead councils. We offer courses for adults and children, for all levels and abilities, from school holiday to adult weekend courses. We can provide a wide range of specially adapted activities and courses for young people and adults with a learning disability or physical disability.


It's our very first visit to AfC Albany Outdoors. They do great work here with the local youth and adults. They provide the area with all sorts of outdoor activites from kayaking to dragon boating and keep us Kingstonites connected to the river.

To help keep them afloat they have asked us to clean and empty out the boats for the season ahead. The recent storms have filled the boats with leaves and rubbish so it's all hands on deck. Some of the smaller boats will need to be taken off the racks in order to clean so having a decent turn out will help with these tasks. There will also a small amount of weeding to be done to keep the yard looking good for visitors.

We will meet at the Quaker Centre at 6.30pm and run 2.5km there and 2.5km run back. We'll be at Albany Outdoors for 7pm - the address for Full Cycle is Albany Outdoors, Albany Mews, Kingston upon Thames, KT2 5SL Please let me know if you are intending to meet us there.

This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.
