Goodgym Hammersmtih & Fulham runners meet every Tuesday evening to run together to a local good cause and lend a helping hand. We have been painting school rooms, tidying community gardens, sorting clothing donations and litter picking in Hammersmith & Fulham for three and a half years now. We are always on the look out for more Tuesday evening tasks for us to take on – and with our volunteer numbers exponentially growing we are now often carrying out two tasks in an evening. If you have a task there are two dozen GoodGym volunteers ready to help in the borough. To request a task, please email bethn@goodgym.org (our coordinator and run leader for Hammersmith and Fulham Goodgym).
