A bonus Monday night treat was arranged for us tonight. An area had been identified as needing some great GoodGym help and York's wonderful Area Activators Vicky & Ed were out on the streets with a litter picking gang. We had a fantastic age range (4 weeks to nearly 60 years!) and it was an honour for us to welcome a 4 week old to a wonderful GG way of life! Long may it continue. (Promise no child labour was involved - just an opportunity to meet York's youngest.) We also welcomed Imen on her first GG task and she enjoyed it so much she stayed for the group run & mission, lovely to have her along. We had some lovely comments from locals thanking us for our efforts - it does feel good to be recognised. We left the area depleted of litter & looking much tidier.
