On a beautifully sunny day, we gathered at the entrance of the church with massive smiles on our faces, feeling a great sense of relief.

....we are back to doing good with our favourite people!!

The excitement of socialising re-energising my legs into an evening run for the first time in almost a year!

Sarah didn’t have a great start to her day but we quickly turned that around by collecting litter and chatting and laughing.

Hannah was brave enough to tear herself away from her baby boy for an hour, which was great for us!

John celebrated his end to shielding FOR A YEAR!!! Let that sink in... .....by filling bags of rubbish and dodging syringes!!! Let that sink in..... Hahahahahaha

It was so lovely to be together again. And great to see the church has revamped their grounds...which meant we had to find all new rubbish hotspots...it didn’t take us long!!

We filled 6 bags full of rubbish, from crab claws to hot water bottles to jeans and shoes, perfectly reusable Pimm’s jug and still wrapped, tuna cans!!

All magical finds and excited to see what next weeks litter pick in kings park will come up with!

Are you signed up to come along???
