Southwater Green Gym
Southwater Community Partnership CIC is a local group of volunteers whose aim is to support the social, environmental, cultural and economic well-being of the village.
At present, we organise and deliver the Christmas Festival in Lintot Square and the weekly Computer Club.
Our aim now is to create a Green Gym for the village, and we are seeking an initial lead member who would help us establish it.
What is a Green Gym?
A Green Gym is a health initiative offering individuals an outdoor alternative to conventional gyms. It aims to:
• Conserve and improve open spaces for biodiversity and recreational use.
• Promote practical conservation
• Improve physical and mental health
• Enable members to gain knowledge, learn skills and socialise
• Improve the local environment
• Our plan is to carry out work that enhances the natural environment, such as:
• Tree planting, hedge laying, helping to maintain public rights of way, and permissive paths
The broad goals underpinning this approach include tackling social exclusion, inequalities in health and social wellbeing and creating environments that will help people maintain good health and wellbeing.
We believe that everyone can get actively involved in looking after their local environment. The Green Gym will engage with the Southwater community to identify problems and solutions.
If you are interested in helping us with this new venture for the village, please send your contact details to [email protected]
