On a balmy June Monday evening, 5 GoodGymers collected 10ish bags of discarded litter and waste.
Stefanie, Sam, Pavel, and Ben strolled from St Peter's Square via the Bridgewater Hall canal path to Hulme Park, collecting all sorts on the way:
With 4 full sacks collected, and some litter hotspots identified, we met Gaynor in Hulme park, sporting her GoodGym t-shirt for the 1st time 😀
We made a loop around Hulme park, having a go on the swing and impressed with the relative lack of litter given the warm picnic-friendly weather. We did find a suitcase, some more clothing and empty money bags in the park, plus other litter, while keeping to the shade given the heat 🥵.
Litter bags were collated, location saved, and will be reported (some again) to Keep MCR Tidy for collection.
Good stroll and litter pick in the sun 🌞

Juno and I helped with tail walking at University Parks parkrun event #175. 591 runners and walkers completed the 5 km 2-lap course. We were joined by Sarah from Bristol with quite a lot of latecomers too!
Dusty and warm. Nice run there beforehand.

Another successful session back at What If? where Ben, Niamh and Laura helped to line and plant out new planters gifted to the café.
We filled the planters with herbs, veg, seeds and flowers, whilst learning about combination planting!
We finished off the evening with pasta salad and heard all about the exciting plans What If? have in the pipeline.

Do you have any GoodGym tasks in Manchester this weekend, as I will be visiting Didsbury and would love to do a bit of GoodGym tourism while I'm there.

Welcome to Megha and Olawale for their first GoodGym outing! Kudos for getting out to help today, particularly Olawale coming from Wigan 💪
Today, we were helping out the Friends of Peel Park tidy up following Salford Pride the previous day. Some of the gating and stalls were still up from what sounded like a good day, despite the long queues at the bar! 🏳️🌈
We collected 12 or 13 sacks of rubbish, mostly of cans, bottles, raffle tickets 🎟 and confetti 🎊. We found a football too, that a local made use of, and made a really good job removing litter from the playground that looks much more welcoming now 😀
Salford City Council's litter picker locker is really handy too, apparently being well used (and thankfully not abused or damaged) so locals can pick up litter when walking. Little and often really does help 🚮
Gaynor and Ben made the ~3 km walk from Manchester city centre there and back 👣 and thankfully, the rain steered clear 🌧 so we didn't get too wet.
