What we are

Working with the Sonning Common Green Gym is a great way to be active and stay fit both physically and mentally (increasingly important as we are living longer). At the same time by undertaking various tasks and projects we are able to help the community and the environment. The Green Gym is also a great way to learn new skills and meet like-minded people. We are open to participants of all ages and ability (the only restriction is that under 16’s need to be accompanied by an adult). We also have Duke of Edinburgh students from time to time.

We work in a wide circle around Sonning Common and our volunteer members come from a similar area. If you are thinking of joining us, we’d love to see you at one of our sessions. You will certainly develop your conservation skills as well as perhaps helping in the running of the group in some capacity.

Working with the Green Gym you can take part in conservation activities such as tree felling, hedge laying, fence installations, gateways and stile installations, restoring chalk downland, creating nature areas and scrub clearance.

The Green Gym has been responsible for a number of successful projects and has received various awards.

On 6 November 2018 we received the “Special Recognition Award” at a TCV Green Heroes event in London. The Award was to recognise us as the pioneering Green Gym and our twenty years of successful operation.
