Who this task will support
HOPE Nottingham
how we help Hope Nottingham's vision is to 'inspire and grow communities of Hope throughout Nottingham and beyond'. We are a Christian charity, which supports those of all faith or none. We work in shared mission with local churches and community groups, empowering volunteers to serve those in need in neighbourhoods all around Nottingham. ​ Hope House in Beeston and our newly developed Carlton Community Hub have become one-stop community support centres, working in partnership with many local agencies, to provide places of trust and transformation for local people. ​ Hope Nottingham operates many neighbourhood Foodbanks across the city, helping people out of crisis and directing people to life-changing support. Some of these centres are beginning to develop the same model as Hope House to meet the physical, material and spiritual needs of local communities.

If you've have been thinking of coming along to a GoodGym Nottingham session but were a little nervous or unsure how it works, then this is the session for you!

For this starter session we will be returning to one of our favourite task locations at the Meadows Foodbank and combining this with a little run beforehand. Below are all the details.

This is a great opportunity to meet other nice people, get moving and do a bit of good for the local area. Come along solo (everyone is in the same boat) or bring a pal along. All welcome!

Here's the plan...

🕙 Meet us outside Bridgeway Hall Methodist Church at 6.30pm on Wednesday 3rd July.

🏃‍♂‍ After some quick introductions we will go on a gentle jog for about 20 minutes in the local area. This will be a very easy paced jog and we will always have someone at the back to ensure no one is left behind.

💪 After a quick stretch, we will head into the Meadows Foodbank (located in the Bridgeway Hall Methodist Centre) at 7pm to help them with some tasks. This may involve moving boxes of food, stacking it on shelves, cleaning or whatever other jobs Mark may have in store for us.

👋 After about 50 minutes of work in the foodbank, we will say our goodbyes and head home having had a fun and fulfilling evening!

We look forward to seeing you there!

Can't make it until 7pm? No problem, just sign up and let us know beforehand either via message on this page or on our WhatsApp / Facebook page

If you have any questions about GoodGym at all, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

How are you getting there?
