Who this task will support
Sunshine & Smiles gardening project
Sunshine & Smiles is a charity which organises free groups and events to improve the lives and opportunities of children and families living with Down syndrome in Leeds. We are based at Stainbeck Community Hall which has a small garden. This space would be perfect for running groups for the children we support over the summer, giving them space to enjoy playing outside; many of those we support do not have their own gardens. It has been used in the past, however it has been left to become worn out and unsafe. We would love to see this become a green space again, and there is a fence and benches that could do with repainting and a sandpit that needs emptying and refilling. The charity is run by a small and very busy team, and we would love some help so that we could use this garden this summer. Any gardening expertise would be a bonus too!

You can do one or the other or both!

Meet at Woodhouse Moor Parkrun sign to run 5km either together or solo or if you'd prefer to volunteer, you can sign up & do that instead.

If you're meeting for the task afterwards, we're going to meet at Wrangthorn Church at 9.50ish where they do coffee & cakes after park run. Call 07999157601 if you can't find us! I can then give lifts to Sunshine & Smiles for those who want to join us.

As Parkrun is super accessible, the session will be suitable for people of all abilities.

Please wear your GoodGym t-shirt! Sign up via the Park Run website here: https://www.parkrun.org.uk/woodhousemoor/

We will meet to the right hand side of the start line. Contact 07999 157601 if you can't find us.

If you want to join us just for gardening, please meet at 10.15 at Stainbeck Community Hall, 162 Stainbeck Ln, Leeds LS7 2EA
