Who this task will support
Galleywall Nature Reserve
The Galleywall Nature Reserve is a small plot of land which has been owned by Southwark Housing for decades. It was used by the adjacent Galleywall School for some time before the school closed. It has been maintained by a group of volunteers, the Friends of Galleywall Nature Reserve, since 2004, under an ongoing long-term agreement with the council.


For July's GoodGym Group run, we've been invited to help disamantle a shed, and level the ground it sits on, by a local nature reserve.

Writes Eddie from Galleywall, “The ground where the shed is sited is badly needed by visiting schools and local people for fresh planting and trees, so your help making the change would be VERY welcome.”

What is the Galleywall Nature Reserve?

"The Galleywall Nature Reserve has been maintained by a group of volunteers, the Friends of Galleywall Nature Reserve, since 2004. It is populated with native trees and shrubs. Open days are often held at weekends, and children are well catered for. If you feel like just chilling it is a great place to do that, but if you feel like getting your hands dirty there are always planting, clearing and maintenance tasks to do."

What you need to know

  • We will meet outside FGS HQ at 10:30 for a quick warm-up and task briefing.

  • We will run 2.5km to the task at a leisurely pace.

  • We'll arrive at the task by 11:00 latest for a briefing by Eddie on today's task.

  • We will be dismantling a shed and levelling the ground, so this will be a physical task.

  • Galleywall will provide gloves but please wear old(ish) trainers!

  • We will leave the task around 12/12:15pm to run back to the office.
