As part of The Great Big Green Week celebrations and calendar of events for Littleover, GoodGym Derby held a litter picking session in Sunnydale Park.

Ali, organiser of The Great Big Green Week in Littleover, met the group at the start of the session on their whirlwind tour of events taking place on Saturday to kick off the awareness week.

Chris and Deborah were brand new to GoodGym and it was a real bonus that the rain stopped and the sun was shining on the group for the session. Lots of food packaging, tissues, plastic bottles and vapes were collected using litter picking hoops and grabbers provided by Derby City Council's Parks Team. It was a great, slow paced session meandering through the park and woodland space which allowed the group to get to know a bit more about one another.

Thank you to volunteers who made it this morning, Sunnydale Park is now a bit more free from litter and enjoyable for visitors.

Our next session as part of The Great Big Green Week is on Tuesday 11th June. You can find out more and sign up here.
