Thumbs Up for GoodGym's March Litter Pickers!
9 GoodGymers made their way to help their local community in Barnet.

Throughout the month of March, members of GoodGym independently embarked on litter-picking missions in their local communities. Armed with gloves and bags, these dedicated volunteers hit the streets, parks, and trails, gathering litter and debris to keep their neighbourhoods clean and green. With thumbs ready for action, GoodGym members demonstrated their commitment to both fitness and environmental stewardship, making a tangible difference.
One of the things that I do ahead of Catford parkrun most Saturday’s is the ‘course check’, while it is intended as a check for trip hazards and obstructions, I often get there earlier than I need to and pick up litter too as I wander around the beautiful Mountsfield Park. I spent an hour or so on the penultimate Saturday of March litter picking, probably a black bin bag’s worth - it was mainly takeaway detritus, but Corona lager was clearly on offer somewhere locally as it was the choice of the park drinker that weekend.
