The Waltham Forest Green Gym will now benefit from new storage space at Lloyd and Aveling Park!The volunteer group are now able to store tools at the site, which will help them with their work to maintain and improve the beautiful (and award-winning) park in Walthamstow, London. TCV volunteers have achieved great things at Lloyd and Aveling Park since the project launched here in August 2011, from planting and looking after new trees to building habitats for wildlife. This is a very popular site, and many people help to maintain it including Waltham Forest Council, TCV Waltham Forest, and the Friends of Lloyd Park.
Yesterday's Green Gym session saw volunteers and staff weeding the formal gardens beside the William Morris Gallery, also well worth a visit, and then organising and inventorying the tools in the toolstore. Although the raingods blessed us with some showers, we were lucky enough to have some sunshine during the session too!
"The Waltham Forest Green Gym runs every Friday, meeting outside the Aveling Centre at 10.45am. All tools and light refreshments are provided, however volunteers should dress appropriately for outdoor work. Lloyd Park has a central pavilion (The Aveling Centre) with all necessary facilities, including a cafe, toilets and baby changing facilities."
The Green Gym is a FREE weekly session open to everyone to join. Help to take care of your local green space, get fit and have fun!
