Yesterday morning we joined a community litterpick in Welling, organised by McDonald's in partnership with Discover Welling, the local Salvation Army and Bellegrove Nutrition.
We arrived just in time for a chat and photo with the Mayor, then our own team GG photo - in the background check out our name on the bunting around the gazebo!
Donna from McDonald's asked us to head to the cemetery where litter tends to collect around the perimeter hedges. Joined by Adele from Discover Welling, we picked up rubbish en route, then worked our way around the boundary and paths in the lovely graveyard.
Despite the grey skies, the forecast rain held off and time flew by as we chatted and tidied. It was great to be outdoors with great company, and we got in a great step count too 🚶♀️🚶♂️.
With four bags full of rubbish we returned to the marquee where we were rewarded with bags of melon and chocolate cookies.
We said adieu to Adele and headed to The Hilltop Coffee Shop for cappucinos all round to celebrate Rachel's 200th good deed 🥳🎉. Rachel didn't want a fuss, but that's a whole lot of time spent doing good in the local community, so it's a big 'Hip Hip Hooray!' from of us in GG Bexley and GG Greenwich ❤.
Whether you're a seasoned GoodGymer like Rachel, or considering your very first venture with us, we'd love to see you at one of our tasks soon!
Discover Welling is a community group which aims to help highlight all the good things about Welling as well as finding ways to help enhance the community spirit of Welling. We exist to build on what is good, not complain about things.
