Objectives

Bermondsey Street Runners delivers impactful work to the local residents of South London. Irrespective of gender, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexuality or any other demographics, Bermondsey Street Runners provides a place where movement and social connection are combined to improve all of our wellbeing. 

 

We currently help the community through offering free run and yoga sessions, all followed by a chance to unwind and chat over a coffee with other members of the community. As we progress, we are rolling this out and expanding to include; sessions for those with physical challenges, sessions for families with young children, sessions for those who want to get into running, after school clubs etc.

 

Our services matter because they address key challenges faced by our community, such as social isolation, mental health issues, and limited access to affordable fitness activities. By providing free and inclusive wellness programs, Bermondsey Street Runners helps to improve the physical and mental health of our participants, builds a sense of community, and creates a more inclusive, connected Bermondsey. Our impact is seen in the increased wellbeing of our members, stronger community ties, and the creation of opportunities for marginalized groups to engage in healthy, supportive activities.

Activities

  • Free Weekly Running Clubs:We organize regular, inclusive running sessions that cater to all fitness levels. These clubs not only promote physical health but also encourage social interaction and community building among participants.
  • Yoga Classes:We offer free yoga sessions that help improve mental clarity, relaxation, and flexibility. These also encourage social interaction and community building among participants.
  • Move & Mingle Family Sessions:These sessions are designed to engage families in simple movement activities combined with social interaction. By creating a fun and inclusive environment, we encourage parents and children to stay active together, strengthening family bonds and promoting overall wellbeing.
  • Community Events and Networking:We host community events and social gatherings that bring together local residents and businesses. These events foster stronger community ties, encourage collaboration, and create opportunities for meaningful connections among participants.
  • Inclusive and Accessible Programming:Our activities are designed to be inclusive, ensuring that marginalized groups—such as low-income families, older adults, and individuals with disabilities—have access to our services. We strive to break down barriers to participation, making fitness and wellness accessible to all.
