Kingston GoodGym has a long history with the communal garden at Vine Close, which we helped clear ahead of its redesign from the very beginning. It's so satisfying to see how far it has come to the relacing setting and the beautiful pond teeming with wildlife it is today.

Georgina, the biodiversity officer from Kingston, was on hand to get us started and help with nature advice.

Jonathan, Laurel and Marcos got stuck into removing invasive plants around the banks and even made a tiny new frog friend.

Claire, Emma and Adam helped tidy up the surrounding garden and plant pots while Tom and Laura somehow managed to avoid wet feet clearing duckweed from the pond.

Everything looked great afterwards, and we could even see a few newts in the - temporarily - clear pond. A lovely task on a perfect spring evening.

Congrats to all who got out there this week and did that little bit to improve your local environment. It's amazing what a little bit of time litter-picking can do to an area, making it a more enjoyable space for everyone. Go team!

Out we went this week with our litter pickers and tidied up our parks and streets. Well done to all those that got out and about.

A trash-tastic DIY mission to do a bit of good to our local environment, wherever we may be. Thanks for all those who got out there and battled storm Goretti to get the job done!

With 2026 just about up and running, so were GoodGymers from all over the country, picking up litter in their local area. Great that so many folk got involved in this task - what an excellent way to start the new year. Keep up the excellent work all!

6 goodgymers cleaned up a small part of their local area to improve their enviroment. Cans, plastics and various items stewn by the foxes.
