Picking up from the excellent work we did at a recent group run, we're heading pack to Rowntree Park to get the job done. We'll be shifting soil into raised beds so expect lots of shovelling and running around with wheelbarrows

Just enough time to get across from parkrun


How are you getting there?

Hi James, my 13 year old is keen to help out at Rowntree Park. He would definitely not be volunteers for GoodGym, but is there any chance he could help out as an independent volunteer at Rowntree park for this task? Thanks, Elle

Hi Elle. I think he'd only be able to volunteer if there is another group also volunteering at the task alongside us who are happy to take responsibility and have separate insurance. I don't think that will be the case with this one unfortunately.
