Myself, Dan and Louise had a lovely evening as we joined up with Big Local Gateshead for a litter pick along Riverside Park in Dunston, near the Staiths.

It felt like a lovely Summers evening right up until we had finished and the clouds came over. Thankfully it didn't rain!

Chris, was our brilliant task owner (provided us with all the equipment) and we were joined by a few other volunteers. Together we made a great team as we collected lots of bin bags of rubbish.
