Someone I know would like to have visits from a GoodGym member, can this be arranged?

We can only accept referrals from particular organisations local to each area in which we operate – we depend upon these organisations to conduct home assessments and assure us that the coach’s environment is safe for our runners. If you would like a volunteer to visit someone socially, we would recommend you contact your local Age UK, to find out what befriending opportunities there are in your area.

Coaches are referred to GoodGym based on the exact location and availability of runners in the area. Partner organisations have access to this and also have their own criteria for involvement therefore runners cannot signpost a person into GoodGym via a partner organisation.

Members can signpost people to their local Age UK or equivalent to explore what support is available to them.
