This was a fantastic mission, joining forces with a number of Brixton organisations for a community litter pick. Multiple different groups met at different areas of Brixton for a simultaneous clean-up. This was part of a youth-led initiative, set up by young people at the Marcus Liptrot Community Centre, and attended by local residents, borough councillors, police officers - and Goodgymers!

Six Goodgymers, representing Lambeth, Ealing, Croydon and Brent, met in Windrush Square, collected our litter pickers and high-vis, and headed off to St Matthew’s church gardens. After an hour of solid litter-picking we had filled several bags of rubbish. Shout out to Steph who ran 27km to be there, and to Harvey who hit his incredible 1000th mission earlier that same morning! What an achievement!

After our hour was up we headed back to base, and it was amazing to see just how much could be achieved in a short space of time. Well done everyone!
