I had a great time volunteering at the GoodGym beach clean-up on the Sunday of Brighton Pride!

On a sunny Sunday morning, numerous volunteers gathered at the Kings Road Arches to collect the rubbish left behind after the previous day's Pride celebrations, along with what appeared to be the remains of several beach barbecues.

We filled plenty of bags with plastic items, bottle lids, broken glass and even a tent peg. However, the prize for the most unexpected find has to go to a pair of sunglasses!

Afterwards, many of us headed to Pride in the Park to enjoy performances from Paris Hilton, Mel C and the wonderful Diana Ross, safe in the knowledge that we'd done our bit to help keep Brighton's beautiful beach cleaner and ready for everyone to enjoy.

On Tuesday, GoodGym took a gentle run over to the he Community Kitchen in central Brighton—one of our favourite projects from the Brighton & Hove Food Partnership!

During the summer, the kitchen hosts a packed schedule of seasonal activities, from school holiday baking and family workshops to adult cookery classes. With so many kids dropping by, greasy handprints had made their mark everywhere!

Wiping those away was our main mission, but we also cleaned the windows until they sparkled and tidied out drawers and cabinets—a meticulous job for a dedicated few.

It was another Good session, leaving us all keen to return soon. And we definitely will!
