A LITTER bit of luck

Stockport Report written by Sian Dobson Hughes

Back for its ninth year, the Great British Spring Clean is the nation’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign.

The Great British Spring Clean and Great Big School Clean 2024 takes place from 15 - 31 March, and you can pledge to pick up a bag of litter – or more.

Last year, the army of amazing #LitterHeroes pledged to pick more than 400,000 bags of litter.

Several times a year, GoodGym Stockport take part in Plogging group runs to help to keep our wonderful community free of litter and debris.

Our run began from Life Leisure Avondale, with 7 runners in tow, armed with litter pickers, gloves and bags! We ran a circular 7.5km route, covering Edgeley, Cale Green and finally Adswood.

We focused some of our attention on the area around a local school and received wonderful feedback from the Headteacher who appreciated our efforts to keep the area clean.

We even had BAGS of fun doing so!

Pre-parkrun plogging and other stories

Stockport Report written by Ben Foster

Busy Saturday with litter picking in Longsight collecting four refuse sacks full of rubbish on the streets. Mostly cans and bottles.

Ran to Fletcher Moss parkrun (event #198) with Juno to shadow the RD with the prospect of becoming RD in the near future. Helped with set up, sorting out marahalls, funnel managing, and tidy up afterwards. The hail and rain was an unwelcome surprise!

Followed parkrun volunteering with a run to Stockport to drill a few green lids as part of the Plastic Shed wall mural. The mural is spectacular!

All for RUN and RUN for all!

Stockport Report written by Sian Dobson Hughes

Last night's group run was a 7km circuit in aid of Comic Relief. A local community leisure centre, and our designated start base, had set a challenge to raise support for Comic Relief and so we jumped (or ran!) on board.

Our challenge was to run the miles between two of the leisure centers. So that we did, with smiles on our faces and talk of gardening tasks to come!

Marshal train-ing

Stockport Report written by Ben Foster

Got the first train to Oxford from Manchester on a clear and fresh morning to help marshal the alternative course at University Parks parkrun event #110. 560 runners and walkers completed the 5 km route. Juno and I marshalled point 1a to direct runners either to do another lap or head towards the finish. We were both a little hoarse by the end!

PRESS up challenge!

Stockport Report written by Sian Dobson Hughes

This week, our task was to support the dedicated folk at the Stockport Community Post to deliver newspapers to the local area.

Equipped with sacks and bags of motivation, we set off laden with good news!

A chatty 6km (with extra car park laps) later and the job was done!

We were even papped on the move! Speed of light!
