FASTTRACK: Get Coach or Mission Verified

Do you need to get your documents checked by GoodGym and complete your online training to go on Missions or be paired with a Coach? If so, come along to Somerset House (New Wing Entrance) and meet Nina from GoodGym who can get this sorted for you. You can also find out more about how coach running and missions work and answer any questions you might have.

Please only sign up if you're able to make this event. If you are able to come along, please make sure you sign up by 5.30pm on Friday 3rd February so we can let Nina know you're definitely coming.

What documents do I need to bring?

In order to get Mission verified or to get paired to run to an older person each week, you need an enhanced DBS check with GoodGym. We need to see three documents to get your DBS check underway and the easiest combination is:

• valid passport
• valid driving licence photocard
• proof of current address i.e. bank statement or bank account opening letter (dated within last 3 months)/ utility bill (last 3 months)/ council tax bill (last 12 months)

What if I don't have these documents?

There are lots of other documents you can show us if you don't have these. Have a look on the DBS website for the full list of document combinations. Get in touch with coachteam@goodgym.org if you're not sure on what you can provide.

If all of your bills and statements are online, you'll need to contact your bank or utility provider to request a copy paper statement or bill to be sent to your home address (unfortunately DBS has confirmed we can't accept internet printouts). These can usually be sent to you within 7-10 days but best to check with your bank or provider.

What else do I need?

To complete your online DBS application form, you'll need your address history from the past 5 years and your National Insurance number (we don't need to see your NI card or a payslip, you'll just need to enter the number on your application form).

Online training

You'll be able to complete your online training in our office if you'd like to. Missions training takes about 20 minutes and coach training takes about 2 hours. If you'd like to complete your training before coming along, you can find it here for coach running and here for missions.
