You could be a ray of sunshine for a neighbour struggling with a simple job in the home or garden. We're getting more requests than we can handle at the moment, so if you'd like to help out comment here or share with someone you think would like to help!

A quick job for Dave lending a hand to Mr B to keep his hedge in check during the summer months.

A small task for an isolated neighbour, but a big impact for Mr B who sees it everyday.

‘Missions’ as we call them, are often quick and you can feel the impact you're having immediately.

Here in Luton we have a long list of isolated older people who would love a regular visit from you for a cup of tea and a chat.

Goodgym is about getting fit with purpose and taking a walk to see a neighbour once a week is about as easy as it gets.

Reply if you're interested and I'll help you get set up!

This Loneliness Awareness Week, we want to put a spotlight on GoodGym's Social Visiting Volunteer Role.

Our trained volunteers run, walk or cycle to visit an older person in the local community for thirty minutes a week. Just half an hour can make such a positive difference for someone in need.

There are currently 64 older people waiting to be paired for social visits near you. Visit our website to ensure they are not waiting any longer.

"I couldn't find many opportunities that were flexible. Most wanted long-term commitments and application forms that felt like applying for a job."

When Kam was looking for volunteering opportunities to complete his Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, he struggled to find something that fit around his life, and then he discovered GoodGym.

Nearly a year later, he's completed 24 good deeds, supported community projects, volunteered at parkrun and BMX sessions, and built friendships that keep him coming back.

"I don't even want to stop when I've completed the volunteering requirement."

Goodgym social visits to isolated older people are our more sedate sessions that just involve walking to a sit down for a drink and a7 chat with someone who might not see many people in the week.

Visiting regularly keeps you doing that bit of activity and you develop a friendship in the process. Positives for everyone. If you'd like to give it a go read more about it here:

GoodGymers make a huge difference by visiting older people in their communities, combining practical help with human connection ❤️
