Make 2015 a GoodGym year and get along to our GoodGym Hackney starter session. This session is designed to show you what it’s all about.

Each tree will take approximately 30-60 mins to complete the plant.

Why do this?

The trees will help to improve air quality, reduce noise from traffic, look beautiful and feed our local bees.

New to running? Concerned about the distance we will be covering? Fear not! Everyone will be meeting at the start location and heading out for a light jog after the task.

You can leave your bags etc at the start location ( 413 Queensbridge Road, E8 3AS) and there are toilets on site that you can change in.

You can register here and everyone’s welcome.

And it’s FREE!

The Big House Presents…

Politrix
Created by Ben Musgrave, with Andrew Day.

A verbatim piece inspired by real stories from the cast.

“These people who we want to listen, I don’t think we ever get to see them… these people hide.”

Inspired by real stories, and an extraordinary visit to the Houses of Parliament, this is a wild, tender, funny and devastating exploration of the political lives of young people on the margins.

Director Maggie Norris
Designer Sarah Beaton
Movement Carrie-Anne Ingrouille
Lighting Designer Peter Small
Sound Designer Ed Clarke

The Big House are back to work, collaborating with 15 young care leavers and young people at-risk to create an exciting, original production; Politrix will be a verbatim piece responding to the upcoming election. The group are in week 3 of rehearsals; Politrix will run from Wednesday 25th March to Saturday 11th April.

The Great Spitalfields Pancake Race raises funds for London’s Air Ambulance

Address: Dray Walk, Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane E1 6QL.

Every year The Great Spitalfields Pancake Race raises funds for London’s Air Ambulance.

This year the need for funds is even greater as a new helicopter is now required to cover for the existing aircraft while it has annual maintenance. Another helicopter will also help to extend daylight flying during the summer and reach even more patients with life threatening injuries. Currently the trauma team of a hospital surgeon and advanced paramedic treat over 160 patients a month.

London’s Air Ambulance is based on the roof of the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel and costs about £5 million a year to run. It may come as a surprise to some that this vital service for the 10 million people who live or work within the M25 is run by a charity. The Barts Health NHS Trust and London Ambulance Service support the medical staff and the government and corporate donors make contributions but the rest has to come from active fund raising and donations.

So get in training now and join in The Great Spitalfields Pancake Race. Teams of 4 suitably dressed up (or down) will gather to compete for the honour of becoming this year’s champions and receive a specially engraved frying pan. All entrants receive scrumptious hot pancakes.

To enter a team email info@alternativearts.co.uk for an application form and get yourselves sponsored or bring a donation on the day for London’s Air Ambulance, registered charity no: 801013.

The Great Spitalfields Pancake Race is organised by Alternative Arts.
