Who this task will support
Black & Minority Ethnic Community Partnership - BMECP
We are the Black & Minority Ethnic Community Partnership. A community-led infrastructure organisation established in the year 2000. Our vision is to create a sustainable resource centre which champions the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) community in Brighton and Hove and support BME communities and their families. Our aim as an infrastructure organisation is to promote community cohesion. Staff and Trustees aim to offer affordable and welcoming space for the community, for training, meetings and cultural events.

The GoodGym January Challenge is back! From the 1st to the 31st of January, across the country, we are going to walk, run and cycle to complete as many good deeds as we can!

The BMECP Centre – The Black & Minority Ethnic Community Partnership, a busy centre hosting a number of projects helping Black and Minority Ethnics. Our host Juliet well remembers what difference we made last year, let's do so again!

❓ What is the Task?

We will be provided with full details on specific tasks, which might include:

  • General tidying up ;
  • Cleaning classrooms,
  • Cleaning kitchen
  • Brooming and mopping some floors, etc.

📍 Where?

  • If running/walking/cycling as a group, meet at 6:15pm @ Queen's Victoria Statue (Victoria Gardens), in Brighton to leave soon after and no later than 6:30pm;
  • If late, meet at task at 6:40pm @ BMECP Centre, 10A Fleet Street, Brighton, BN1 4ZE

🧤 Anything Else I Need to Know?

  • Everybody is welcome, of course!
  • Bring your gloves, if possible - our host will have some spare, so don't worry;
  • Get ready for some good group action.

It is our second Tuesday of the month, so social time for Brighton GoodGym-ers. Last year Frannie spotted that it is quiz night at the The Lord Nelson pub, so we will most likely get there for a pint and a laugh.


GoodGym Brighton is gamed for the January Challenge!

Welcome Challenger!

All good deeds and distance you record on Strava will go towards our community target of 4500 good deeds, and 65,000km covered nationwide.

If ever there was a reason to join us, this is it 🙌.

And, don't forget to log on all your good deeds on your GoodGym profile and your run-kms on your Strava profile/club GoodGym to participate in the January Challenge. HERE's how to.

Are you on a mission to do a 5K parkrun or even a marathon during 2026?

Mine is just to keep up with running together with my GoodGym mates :-). Here are some tips on how to move from the Couch to 5Kto gradually work up towards running 5km in just 9 weeks to run with us at our local parkruns.

Happy GoodGym-ing!

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

Options are available to run between 2km and 4km in total

Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.

Ideal for beginners
