On this cloudy, yet warm Saturday morning, 7 GoodGymmers from GG Barnet, Brent and Camden gathered together at Millennium Green. The last time a GG group had been there was 3 months prior, so our lovely hosts were really grateful to have us.

Anne welcomed us and told us a bit more about the park. The Green was created on what used to be railway land with air raid shelters. Now it is community-run space, vastly used by the local residents.

Our tasks today included, but were not exclusive to:

  • litterpicking - We collected the record 20 bags of litter. Undeniably, the prize for the strangest piece of litter goes to a double bed mattress.

  • cutting the grass along the path that was overgrown.

  • trimming the hedges and tidying up the area around the bins, so they can be easily accessible.

After this was accomplished, 3 volunteers decided to stay a bit longer and help with some outstanding tasks. Great work! :))

P. S. Thanks to Paul who brought some litterpickers and gloves to be used at the task.
