Our second round of clean up at the Glebelands Open Space started and ended in the same place as last week - around the Albanians Association Football Club. While the area looked a lot better than last week, there was still a huge amount to do.

Unfortunately, the Council hadn't managed to find last week's haul, so the first job was to re-bag what the foxes had opened, then carry everything up to Summers Lane. Luckily, the Lesser-Spotted Steve was there to help. Then we got stuck into the verges around the clubhouse, pulling out old plastics, fast food, cans.

Along the fence against the David Lloyd car park we found even more nitrous canisters, and by the end of our collection we must have gathered close to 40 of the things. We carried the whole stash up the lane and reported it, but there's still more along the way. We'll do one more session on the morning of the community event on 14 June, so everyone can enjoy the green space and the area's a bit safer for wildlife.

Four Goodgymmers helped steward a lovely community parade in North Finchley. The CommUnity Quilt project displayed patches expressing solidarity, peace and community on large sheets. The patches were sewn over hundreds of hours by members of loads of community groups across the borough, celebrating and supporting new arrivals and established friends. The quilts put out a strong message of unity: Everyone is welcome in Barnet!

We started at Swan Lane Open Space, with Goodgymmers helping to carry the quilts on poles. A friendly family crowd followed the three quilts along the High Road and down to Victoria Park on Ballards Lane. Two amazing drummers kept up the pace and energy, while the team of around 20 stewards helped keep people safe, pausing for traffic, handing out flyers along the way and waving to people out for a Sunday shop or walk.

Well done to everyone for such an amazing display, welcoming everyone to Barnet and standing together in solidarity with fellow residents!

And well done to our three first time Goodgymmers, Kate, Steve, Mark!

We've another event to steward this Thursday - can you help?
