I've not been given any training though - I'm just picking it up as I go along. Ha!
I joined the Fairfield Park litter pick to join 30 other members of the public to help remove discarded rubbish that blights our local park. I've grown to be very fond of this park as we use it so regularly for our Tuesday Group Run that I wanted to give a little back. I only had 20 minutes but I also had a little helper so we did as much as we could in that time. Amongst other things we found bottle tops, a face mask and even a pint glass. A great task! We'll be back for the next one in May.
