Bag it up, bag it in, let us begin...

Sheffield Report written by Tom Mutton

It was an awesome foursome last night, with three starting off from The Showroom Cinema and meeting Lan at the task along with other member of the Pitsmoor Pickers who had been hard at work ahead of time getting stuck in.

As soon as we arrived we had a local resident asking us how they could get involved which is great to see. We also had a local resident on the street we were picking join us which was great to see the local community coming out.

To be it you have to see it!

Hopefully be us regularly combining with the Pitsmoor Pickers more local people are seeing the work we are doing and could get more involved in keeping their own community clean. With passers by seeing us picking and the stickers on the bags once we are finished, hopefully this will also slowly change mindsets to reduce the amount of litter that is being dropped.

You may only turn a ship one degree, but over the course of a lifetime you can completely change it's destination.

Last nights haul had some interesting finds including:

  • A PAIR of shoes
  • Fire extinguisher
  • Hubcap
  • Traffic cones

Between us we definitely got a good haul and the streets picked were looking a lot better than when we arrived. Until next time, happy running :)

Getting trolleyd with Pitsmoor Pickers!

Sheffield Report written by Tom Mutton

On a very calm Mon evening we met with the Pitsmoor Pickers and some local residents to litter pick their street.

It was great to see the local community getting involved as a family activity and taking pride in their local area. We had thanks from passers by as we got to work pick as much as we could in the time we had and filling bag after bag with litter big and small.

By the end of the session there was a fair pile of rubbish, plus 2 TESCO trolleys which Rachel and Michelle willingly wheeled back to the supermarket. Every little helps..

Until next week, happy running :)

Sprightly privet pruning

Sheffield Report written by Celine (she/her or they/them)

Lan and Celine met up on a grey Wednesday in the Southey area of Sheffield to help Ms M with access to her front door which had been taken over by an over enthusiastic privet hedge.

We hacked and we chopped and we sheared and we strimmed.

Five bags of pruning later and access to the front door was freed up for a very grateful Ms M.

We celebrated our victory over the hedge with lunch in drinks after a little run for Celine and cycle for Lan down the hill in Hillsborough.

Goodgym Elves with sticky fingers

Sheffield Report written by Ash

On a not too chilly November evening we had one of our longest runs to a group run task at just over 5km each way. After a very brief warm up and count off we set off on our journey.

The team stayed motivated on the mostly uphill route to Hillsborough, knowing that we had a fantastic winter indoor task set up by Amazing Alex from Age UK to get to, as well as the satisfaction from feeling the muscle burn from those hills - the best runs are the ones you still feel the next day right?

Once at the Pavilion we counted the runners in and I breathed a sigh of relief that we hadn't lost anyone. This in no small part to Backmarker extraordinaire Serg, and the group effort on navigating our way through trendy Kelham.

Heading indoors we saw the 4 keen Goodgym elves that had gone direct to the task getting stuck into the shiny paper and pritt stick. A very well organised set up by Alex meant that GG Sheffield got straight to task, using our artistic flare to create as many Christmas cards for the Age UK volunteers as we could in the time. Although we were speedy, quality was ensured by our QA Manager Michelle, providing appropriate feedback where it was due.

In no time at all our time was up and after a quick refreshment and group photo we headed back into the night and the super streets of Sheffield.

🤣 I was only kidding. Note to all: ending up with the cards you imagine in your head is harder than you think!!

Provide safe access to front door for Ms M

Support to cut back the hedge will greatly improve access for Ms M as it is currently very narrow.

Rumble in the Jumble!

Sheffield Report written by Tom Mutton

On a wet and wild Halloween night we set off from The Showroom for Hillsborough jumping puddles, with the rain bouncing off the tarmac!

We didn't let it dampen our spirits though and made it to the fantastic space that is the revamped bowling pavilion to meet with AMAZING ALEX who had done a fantastic job of prepping our task for the evening which was to sort clothes for an upcoming (see photos) jumble sale to help with the cost of living crisis, keep vulnerable people warm and make some money for Age UK in Sheffield. WIN WIN WIN.

We lost count of how many bags were sorted but it was A LOT, so the jumble is well worth a look if your after some garms.

After a group photo, we popped our already wet kit on and headed back out into the dark deluge for round 2. The rain hadn't let up, even flooding the tramlines! Once back, warm showers and hot dinners were definitely priority number one and very well earned.

Until next time, happy running! :)
