It was time to get the Rose Road vehicles clean after a busy summer holidays of outings. We quickly divided ourselves into innies and outties and off we went! It wasn’t long before we had four vehicles hoovered, dusted, litter picked and washed. We managed to squeeze in a quick wash for the big bus too before home time!

Last night's GoodGym mission was simple: head out into your local area and pick up some litter. As ever, there were plenty of interesting finds along the way!

Hannah turned a trip to take her little one to nursery into a mini litter-picking mission, collecting 15 cans, a plastic bottle and even a bit of a car.

Laura achieved a true litter-picker milestone by finding a discarded pair of pants. You're not really a seasoned litter picker until you've found some abandoned underwear!

Amanda got stuck in and filled a bag with litter from her local area.

Lucy combined her litter-picking efforts with a run, proving that it's perfectly possible to clean up and get your miles in at the same time.

Ellie wasn't able to join the litter pick itself, but she still got involved by sharing photos of some brilliantly creative bins in Sweden that had been painted to look like people.

Sarah picked near a petrol station and found plenty of disposable gloves to keep her busy and a 104 cigarette butts. Yes, she counted every single one! Her most amusing discovery was a rather rude note intended for a badly parked car, suggesting the driver might want to rethink their parking technique.

Wilson filled an entire bin bag and uncovered a Stella Artois glass, along with a pile of used scratchcards. Ever hopeful, she checked every one of them just in case there was a hidden jackpot... but sadly, it wasn't to be.

A huge well done to everyone who took part and helped make their corner of the world that little bit cleaner.

A great morning helping out at the Southampton Running Festival on Southampton Common with Run-Through. Philip and his son were helping with their local scout group on the baggage drop and out on the course. Wilson, Sarah and Stephanie were all marshalls along the course. Sarah had an ingenious trick to amplify her mobile phone soundtrack using a cone! Great to a family had brought their cat 😺 along for the run in their special backpack!
