GoodGym is an organisation that encourages its members to get fit whilst doing good.
A study conducted by the London School of Economics found that volunteering with GoodGym improves overall life satisfaction by 21%.
Rachel White, the area activator for GoodGym Kingston, said: “We help local charities and community groups with physical tasks to keep us fit, to meet members of the community and to find out about our local area.”
Kingston’s GoodGym members regularly visit Canbury Community Garden, a volunteer-run space on the riverside.
GoodGym encourages their members to walk, run or cycle to their sessions and hosts a calendar of social events throughout the year.
It is free to join, and the full list of its volunteering schedule can be found here.
