On a drizzly Saturday morn, 8 Goodgymers helped out Friends of Princes Park https://www.friendsofprincesparkl8.org.uk/ for 67 minutes with litter picking and protecting the trees. We more than doubled the number of volunteers for this day recognising 67 years of Nelson Mandela’s struggle for civil rights.

It was great to have Laura join us and help on clearing the tree bases. The youngest Goodgym recruit Isobel made a special appearance along with Becky and curiously surveyed the work. From clearing considerable amounts of strewn rubbish to clearing the grass and laying mulch down around trees, a solid shift was put in with only a brief pause of wonderment at the steam rising from the mulch! A warm welcome back to Chris Armitage!

Becky, Yan and Becky filled more than 5 bags with litter and after handing back our hi viz vests, we parted ways having made a good difference. Well done everyone
