Return visit to help at the Abbey Community Centre in Westminster #TeamUp

The Abbey Centre is a vibrant Westminster community centre supporting local communities to improve their quality of life


Location

Date and time
18:30 - 20:00
Tuesday, 27th of January 2026

The Abbey Community Centre is a local community hub that has supported the heart of Westminster for 77 years, helping everyone from children to adults in the local area. It has a diverse group of service users that rely on the work the centre does.

They have a small community garden to the rear of our building that needs some weeding, planting and other duties done on a regular basis. We will also be doing jobs around the centre. We will be visiting the centre once every month so make sure it is well cared for so that local people can use it freely.

We will follow the session with a short, fun workout!

Either meet us for a run to the task outside the Lodge cafe, Hyde Park (https://maps.app.goo.gl/HBisYRSUExBvepKk8) near the Hyde Park Corner entrance to the park, or directly at the Abbey Centre at 18:50

6km total distance

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us or see if there's a starter session coming up in your area.
