Organisation description: What if every step you took could make Bolton stronger? At GoodGym, every step taken is a step full of purpose. We run, walk, and cycle, not just for exercise, and not just to get from A to B - we do so to get fit while doing good. We’re the only UK charity that combines fitness with community and environmental volunteering, helping people to get and stay active, improve their wellbeing and make a real impact in their local area. Our innovative digital platform connects volunteers with local volunteering activities in real-time. We offer weekly group sessions either in a group supporting local causes or as individuals supporting vulnerable older people suffering from loneliness. Whether it’s running to visit an older person facing isolation and supporting them with IT, cycling to support a community garden, or walking to help a charity paint a room, GoodGym makes doing good while getting fit easy. We increase physical health, mental wellbeing and community cohesion while decreasing loneliness, isolation and inactivity.
