It was our monthly date at Leagrave Park and two Goodgymers joined the Friends of Leagrave Park for the litter pick. What we lacked in numbers we made up for with enthusiasm and we were soon wombling in the woodlands and playing fields clearing up cans, bottles and all sorts of litter, and getting a lovely walk into the bargain. Fortunately there was less litter than we usually find so maybe people are starting to take their rubbish home with them.

This morning on World Clean Up day 3 GoodGymers joined the South Luton Litter Pick, and while the community group started on picking the litter Gill, Aiman and Omar tackled the leafy suckers that were creating a hazard across the pavement. Leaf-ing the tree in a much less hazardous state we then started on relieving ( or re-leafing) London Road of the many piles leaves and weeds that have accumulated. It was great to be joined by Abdullah and Abdulrahman who are our latest GoodGym recruits. The South Luton Group were overwhelmed by our leaf cleaning prowess! Well done !

We teamed up with Friends of Leagrave Park for our monthly litter pick. Thank you to Pastor Charmaine, Martin, Dave and Omar, plus other members of the community, we managed to make the park that bit prettier. Amongst the haul was a particular tortoise, a ‘message’ in a bottle and the famous drum kit.

Let’s hope that the tortoise is still breathing, wherever he may be.

This week's group run took us to the Capability Green business park where the task was to deliver flyers to all the businesses inviting them to use their corporate volunteering time to help the Keep Luton Tidy campaign on an upcoming litter picking day.

Splitting into two groups we whizzed around the park pretty quick which left plenty of time for some hill reps before we returned to our start point.

There was only one lonely goodgymer at the South Luton Litter pick but he wasn't lonely for long as the local residents made him very welcome. As always, Omar put in a great shift and helped in collecting the mound of litter. Well done Omar.

6 Luton Goodgymers joined Friends of Leagrave Park, Kev from ABCD-IN-LUTON and Spiderman on the monthly community litterpick.
As ever lots of interesting finds around the park, bags of tiles, cans, take away food, a drum kit, a scooter and the almost obligatory shopping trolley 🛒. In total whelmed to collect around 30 bags of rubbish 🗑 . Great effort by all involved. Well done 👏 ✔️ 👍🏻 👌 😀
