Report written by Newcastle runner
A warm, sunny Monday evening, that turned a bit cold towards the end, saw GoodGym Newcastle assisting Heaton Pride with their post-event clean up around the local area.
Six GoodGymers set out from Stepney Bank Stables towards Heaton, picking some litter as we went. As usual, South View West was heavily littered. No matter how many times we pick litter up in that street, it always returns. A couple of passers-by were keen to offer thanks, which is always nice to hear.
We got to Heaton Road and The Last Resort pub a while after Heaton Pride's own band of litter pickers. Between the two groups, virtually all of the litter was bagged and binned.
Well done to Nour for reaching the mini milestone of 10 good deeds tonight!
A grassroots effort from volunteers and local businesses to support the LGBTQIA+ community in Newcastle's most vibrant borough.
