It was good to be back out helping Wexham Park Hospital with a litter pick task tonight. We had a small team this evening...maybe the April showers were putting everyone off but it was great to see Joe, Sandy and Pam.

Our meet up point was outside the King Wexham where we did the welcome brief and warm up before collecting the pickers from my car and running up the road to the hospital.

I had already agreed with task owner Mike that we would bring our own tools...it's litter bother really and saves us from needing to enter the hospital.

Trashing it out tonight

There was litteralley so much rubbish tonight which we were a litter surprised at as our past few visits have resulted in a litter less litter..

  • Joe aced it with a spade;

  • Pam booted up with a new trainer;

  • Sandy had something delivered by Amazon;

  • Whilst I kicked up a racket!

We found a crisp packed with a best before of 2019! Alongside an abundance of monster drinks, take out containers, chocolate wrappers and mask but not least…. So many masks!

We filled 3 very large bags of rubbish! So much rubbish around the seating areas that have been created for visitors to enjoy! Hopefully now this area can be enjoyed.

Next week see's the start of the Easter holidays so we have another litter pick task arranged with Antz Kids on Tuesday 12th at 1pm in Kennedy Park

As well as our usual Monday night slot helping Slough Refugees

And last but not least best of luck to our team running the Brighton Marathon on Sunday!
