On the gorgeous Crosby Beach in balmy weather we weaved through the groups of families and friends, all enjoying the a day at the seaside, picking up litter the folks leave behind!

Crosby Beach is famous for the Anthony Gormley status, the installation known as Another Place the peace features 100 cast iron figures standing in the sand, all facing out to sea. Sadly for us today (but fortunately for them) they were absent for the first time, all getting a much needed spruce up ready to be put back in place. In the meantime we were sprucing up the beach and the dunes!

A shout out to Jess for her 5th Good Deed earning her High Five badge, and to Carol earning her Easy Ten badge for (you guessed it) 10 good deeds!

And a huge thank you to the amazing Friends of Crosby Beach for loaning us their litterpicking equipment and supporting us today. The Friends group are out there on a regular basis keeping the beach clean and safe for all of us and without the dedication and care of such fab volunteers the beach wouldn't be the beautiful asset to our city that it is! We were glad today that we could do our small part to help.
