GoodGym Luton came out to support the set up, hosting and closing of the second Pride in Luton celebration.

From 9am we covered a whole range of tasks from the ordinary litter picking, moving fences, putting up decorations, and moving and setting up tables and chairs. To the more unusual buying over 40 meal deals, pushing a broken down van, and transporting a scarecrow.

After the set up, three members of the GoodGym team donned the carnival costumes and joined the dance parade to start off the Pride festival.

A group of GoodGym volunteers stayed during the day giving out directions, litter picking and supporting with any urgent tasks. Which most notably included moving a chicken and rice food stall from one place to another while they were still cooking and keeping food hot.

Finally, a group stayed till the very end to help tidying up and taking everything down.

A job well done for a memorable and meaningful second Pride in Luton!
