6 people picked a lotta litter around St Mary's!

And we emptied the 2 public bins into the dustbins that the council empty - as we noticed that they were completely full and people were stacking up litter around them. By lining them with heavy duty bags, we are hoping that they can get emptied much more easily going forward.

We were joined by local resident Martin (with his lovely lurcher Gladys) who litter picked a whole bag on his own. He wanted to know where the 'gym' in GoodGym is and was really supportive of the GoodGym philosophy when we shared it with him. It also went out on the Slough Anti-Litter WhatsApp group this morning - and now that we have learned about this, we have the opportunity to get the message out to them earlier and to work together more in the future.

The team talk was fun and fascinating (both whilst tidying up and also over water and biscuits in the church) - we learned that the library at The Curve has a theatre and film viewing area called 'The Venue' and has a massive diversity of events and shows to celebrate all of the cultural heritage of the people of Slough.And they are always looking for volunteers to support as ushers etc (no need for first aid training etc, as there is a front-of-house manager who coordinates all of the volunteer efforts).

And perhaps most rewarding of all - we were thanked by 3 different people who were hanging around ready to bed down for the night in the churchyard - which felt like a meaningful connection.

Who needs to run 42km when you can run 2km instead!

What a great event we had this morning at junior parkrun.

Harsha was on RD duties with Sut and Pam supporting the finish line as timekeeper and barcode scanner

Whilst Clare and Manjit were on cheer leading duties and Adam was on tail walker duties

Beautiful sunny day for us all

Good luck to all the London runners today especially our very own Run Leader Jenny

Six volunteers met at Upton Court park to litter pick the car park on a beautiful sunny morning. This was followed up with a muddy walk to Eton where we were joined by Abdul making us the magnificent 7. Jean ran back while the rest of us grabbed coffee and cake before the return walk to Upton Court Park.

Agni and Clare helped Slough Outreach today with a clothes sorting task.

Shin is always very appreciative of our help and the Outreach shop is doing a lot of good in the community

Well done to the team for getting involved today.

Goodgym teamed up with Stoke Park Active Volunteers to take down the Valentines decorations. Our hearts were racing as we paced around the room finding anything heart shaped to take down off the walls.

We also sorted out the art therapy books for the charity's social club. It felt ( tip ) great to help.

The charity is very grateful for the love shown today in helping out.
