Report written by Laura
On a beautiful autumn Sunday morning, 4 GoodGymers joined Headingley Development Trust to remove graffiti from the Telecoms Boxes on Alma Road.
The Graffiti Working Group is a group wishing to address the growing problem of graffiti tagging in Headingley and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Activities undertaken by the group include fund raising, awareness raising, the physical removal of tags, supporting Council graffiti removal activities, procuring professional cleaners when required, commissioning street art and developing initiatives to support legal forms of street art.
We completed 4 boxes & will put in a session in a few weeks to finish off.
We are a Community Benefit organisation based in Headingley. We operate the Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre (HEART), the Headingley Greengrocer shop, a monthly Headingley Farmers Market and various other projects including a Community Orchard, the Zero Carbon Headingley group, and a monthly Cafe Scientifique amongst other things

We are a small charity with limited resources, so jobs like this often fall by the wayside. It helps us to continue to focus on our core work, but also with compost, it means we can have less inputs and save money
