GoodGym Ealing is a friendly community of people who do good while getting fit. Their volunteering activities benefit the local community, charities and older, vulnerable individuals.
GoodGym members respond to requests for help posted on their website. These requests can
be diverse but are often for organisations that combat climate change, restore biodiversity and nurture wildlife. Example tasks include growing food at community allotments, maintaining green spaces and redistributing food.
Fostering sustainability in the community ties strongly with GoodGym’s mission to avoid creating a carbon footprint by running, walking or cycling to volunteering sessions. GoodGym aims to have minimal negative environmental impact by encouraging members to reuse or recycle their shoes and running kits.
The group welcomes new volunteers keen to engage with the local environment and communities. For more information about the support for community projects in Ealing, contact the local Area Activator kash@goodgym.org.

#RunSome is a campaign from the Running Mayors network, a group of voluntary ambassadors who champion the role of running, aimed to encourage more people to incorporate running into their everyday journeys. In particular, they want us to run the everyday errands and commutes that people usually complete by car. They stress that your run does not need to be far or fast, but by doing it you’ll feel happier, healthier and do your bit for the environment.
If you’d like to find out more about the campaign, click here. To get in touch, you can email tom@ehmlegacy.com, or connect with them on Instagram.
Better Ealing Streets is a local campaign group that believes our streets and community spaces can be even more healthy, safe and enjoyable for all ages and abilities.
They have two main objectives:
- Making our streets safer and easier to navigate by walking cycling or wheeling

They want Ealing’s streets to be a safe a place to interact, enjoy and thrive, whether it’s pocket parks, more greenery, or community events.
