About

Let's team up with Mary from Ealing Repair Cafe to create more items for Ealing Soup Kitchen.

The idea for the night is to make draught extruders. As we move into winter, people may want to make their homes cosy without spending too much on heating. Upcycled draught excluders may be placed at the bottom of draughty doors or windows to keep the cold away. See here how Mary made them last year!

✔️ What is the task?

  • making draught excluders using old jeans
  • optionally, sewing drawstring bags using upcycled t-shirts
  • will we finish sewing the letters on the GoodGym flag made of scraps this time?

No skills required - Mary will teach us how to reuse materials!

Options are available to run between 4km and 8km in total

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

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.

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 Bodyline Studio, and Bodyline Studio and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
