Welcome to Megha and Olawale for their first GoodGym outing! Kudos for getting out to help today, particularly Olawale coming from Wigan ๐Ÿ’ช

Today, we were helping out the Friends of Peel Park tidy up following Salford Pride the previous day. Some of the gating and stalls were still up from what sounded like a good day, despite the long queues at the bar! ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

We collected 12 or 13 sacks of rubbish, mostly of cans, bottles, raffle tickets ๐ŸŽŸ and confetti ๐ŸŽŠ. We found a football too, that a local made use of, and made a really good job removing litter from the playground that looks much more welcoming now ๐Ÿ˜€

Salford City Council's litter picker locker is really handy too, apparently being well used (and thankfully not abused or damaged) so locals can pick up litter when walking. Little and often really does help ๐Ÿšฎ

Gaynor and Ben made the ~3 km walk from Manchester city centre there and back ๐Ÿ‘ฃ and thankfully, the rain steered clear ๐ŸŒง so we didn't get too wet.
