*A sunny Monday evening saw the return of the group run to Liverpool! *

9 Goodgym stalwarts met on Hope Street with varying levels of excitement/nervousness about the 3km ahead. (For some of us this was not only our first group run in a while... )

Shout out to Sallyann for completing her first group run

After a welcome by new area activator Ema and a quick warm up we were all raring to go and the run up to Sefton park went by in a flash! Bit thanks go to our back markers Pauline and Jo

In the meantimeMatthew and the walking group met in the park and were able to get a good idea of where the best areas to focus the litter pick were.

Thankfully the park was relatively tidy and out main focus seemed to be cigarette butts, although the odd barbeque did make an appearance.

After a half hour pick we left the park a much nicer place to be and much safer for birds and small animals! Well done to everyone who joined!

Before we knew it we we back on Hope Street, cooling down in the evening sun, already excitedly discussing what the next group run will hold.


This task supported

Sefton Park is a magnificent 235 acre park. It’s a Grade 1 historic park in the Sefton Park district of Liverpool. It is a Green Flag and Green Heritage awarded site with beautiful features and monuments. We are a group of local people who live near the park and supporters from all corners of the world who love and care for Sefton Park and want to see it thrive for people and nature. The new Friends of Sefton Park group sets out to work for the park and nature that lives there.
