On a lovely morning, Ben, John and Jonny completed a litter pick in the beautiful Sutton Park. Starting off at the Jamboree stone we headed down the hill towards the town gate, picking up litter on our way. On arriving outside the donkey sanctuary we found a big bag of rubbish which had been tossed into a bush. Originally we thought this was impossible to reach, but with great team work from Jonny and John using both litter picks and outstretched arms we managed to grab the bag and put it into Ben's bag. We then carried on picking more rubbish around the car park, filling Ben's bag to the top. John was the first person to find a mask, hence the pun!

There was quite a lot of rubbish around this car park area, so we cleared some, before Jonny and John headed to Erdington for Jonny's 2nd and John's 3rd Mission of the day! Ben went to put his bursting bag full of rubbish in a bin, before he headed off to his 2nd task of the day in Walsall! We will be back for another litter pick in the park in 4 weeks, with the Mission to clear the rest of the litter from the car park area!
