What is a Green Gym?
TCV’s Green Gym has been helping to create healthier and happier communities across the UK since 1999. By bringing together volunteers to restore and manage local green spaces, these important community green spaces are improved and protected. The combination of physical activity and learning new hands-on skills in a group setting has positive impacts on the health and wellbeing of volunteers.
TCV’s Green Gyms has recently been recognised with the top health and wellbeing award from the Royal Society of Public Health. In an independent assessment, they have been shown a social return on investment (SROI) of £4.02 to £1.
