The nature of Leagrave park was getting set for spring, with the irises peeping up in the marshy areas, blossom on the trees and ducks checking out nesting spots. So, it was the last chance to get out there with the litterpickers and stash the trash in our bags before it all gets hidden under a new leafy green blanket.

24 bags, plus a trolley and two bike tyres, were the total haul of the team today, leaving the river, the hedgerows, the paths and fields of the park bright and clear of unsightly rubbish and ready for a spring with hopefully similarly bright and clear weather for a change!

It might have also been a certain Area Activators 500th good deed! Plenty of cake was harmed in the making of this good deed 😄

Another fabulous evening at FoodCycle and they qere sonomeased to have lur team of 6 GoodGymers providing some vital support. Gill and Lucie were coking - Lucie on the starter made a delicious celery and stilton soup while Gill made use of the lemons 🍋 to make a lemon and sultana sponge pudding. Ezrik joined them in the kitchen for his first FoodCycle task and did an amazing job of the washing up. Teklay had his first turn at hosting alongside Sam and Abdulrahman and they did a great job of setting up the hall, serving the guests and tidying up after. Another evening of great team work. Well done all.

The last Saturday in January saw 5 Goodgymers team up with Kevin from ABCD-IN-LUTON and Friends of Leagrave Park to tackle yhe first community litterpick of the new year. We accumulated 20 bags of rubbish and got a glimpse of a beautiful King fisher on the banks of the river Lea. Well done to all that took part.
