Participants gathered at the meeting point for a brief orientation. Gloves, waste bags, and basic cleaning tools were distributed and we all walked to the task point. The activity focused on removing litter, debris, and waste materials from the designated area.Litter, plastics, bottles, papers, and other waste materials were collected. All waste was properly bagged and disposed of at the designated collection point. The dirt‑picking exercise contributes to improve cleanliness, and create a safer environment for residents.

3 good-gymers and two SE7 locals came along to Clean Up Charlton on Sunday morning. We tackled the alleyway behind Frankie & Benny's (always a 'good' spot to find a rubbish tip!), and then did a bit along Bugsby's Way. Hopefully the shoppers that came after our clean-up found the area a little nicer than it was beforehand.

Thanks to Greenwich Council as always for the supply of grey rubbish bags and for collecting the bags, and to everyone who came along. Ben, from Charlton, provided lots of entertainment with his stories of hassling local developers to do their bit to clean up and his efforts to dig out blocked drains!
