GoodGymers combined with Erdington Community Volunteers and Erdington Litter Busters to help tackle an alleyway full of litter.

Today we welcomed Adam for his first GoodGym mission and he had already impressively ran over from the Jewellery Quarter before getting stuck in (and later running back).

We ended up clearing a different part of the alleyway than originally intended due to access issues, but, as you will see from the photos, we still managed to fill quite a lot of bin liners in our time there.

Having several people from different groups helped us to make some good progress and the time went by quickly. There will hopefully be a future mission to help continue with this effort.
