We headed out along Kings Road for a litter-picking mission to help tidy up one of Reading's busy roads. We worked our way along the street collecting the usual mix of cans, wrappers and other bits that had been left behind.

Along the way we spotted the new fruit market at Jacksons Corner, but the real highlight was seeing the newly finished footbridge over the Kennet. We managed 4 bags of rubbish, between of three us, not bad for a cold Monday in March.

For this session of painting at South Reading Community Centre, we were back in action in some of the rooms used by different groups throughout the week.

Roshan joined us for his first ever GoodGym task, and Zelie ran to the session and was showcasing her red GoodGym t-shirt!

With some bits to finish up from our last visit, Shirley and Jenni got to work in the smaller room, making sure that all the missing spots were filled in, finishing the room to perfection. Zelie and Roshan got to work in the bigger room, filling in the stripe at the top of the walls and the bottom edges where the roller hadnt reached last time. It was a group effort to finish the last wall in the big room, which had suffered from having tables and chairs against it for many years! Hopefully with another coat it will be pristine like the rest of the rooms!

With all the spots and stripes painted, it was time to call it a day and enjoy the rest of the weekend, knowing that the groups using the spaces would have somewhere lovely to meet!
