It was a hand-some Saturday morning on Richmond Green as our dedicated squad of GoodGymers rolled up our sleeves for a rather delicate mission! While brooms are great for hard surfaces, the tiny, stubborn litter tucked into the grass and gravel around the benches requires a much more personal touch.

There was no sweeping this under the rug—we had to get right down into the details, hand-picking every last cigarette butt and microscopic piece of rubbish that usually gets missed.

Armed with gloves, sharp eyes, and ultimate patience, we combed the ground around the benches finding rogue cigarette butts everywhere, but we made sure to nip every single one in the butt! From tiny bits of plastic wrap to microscopic debris, our fingers did all the heavy lifting. We left no stone—or bench slat—unturned in our quest for a spotless green. After a thorough session of bending, stretching, and precision picking, the perimeter around every bench was left looking immaculate and pristine.

It was a seat-sational team effort, proving once again that many hands make light work (and clean greens!). Massive thanks to everyone who lent a hand—we really cleaned up our act down to the very last cigarette butt!

Our weekend visit to the 3Ps plot featured Adam and Jenna on a unbeeleafable sunny October day by the river.

We kept beesy by dead heading, removing some of the fallen leafs from the flower bed and also weeding the lawn, leafing passers by suitably buzzing about how bee-uatfully it looked.

Overall a bee-autful job done!

A crew of GoodGymers rolled up to the One O’Clock Club at Marble Hill Play Centre, ready to tackle a trio of tasks.

Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Kelly, who gave us an introduction to the space and we got ready for the tasks.

What We Got Up To: * Weeding: We were pulling weeds to ensure the outdoor play spaces remain clear and tidy for the little ones. * Litter Picking: We were scouring the grounds to make sure no stray trash was left behind. * Toy Scrub Down: Armed with sponges, soapy water, and sheer willpower, we washed down everything from mini slides to mud kitchens. The mud kitchens are now officially ready for their next mud pie creation!

A massive thank you to Kelly for hosting us and guiding the effort. We look forward to visiting the play centre again!

This weekend's visit to the 3Ps had 4 GGers who were greeted by a fresh minty smell on a glorious summer day.

They were tasked with keeping the plot in mint-condition. This included dead heading and the removal of weeds as well as a general tidy up, which both Jenna and Manuela kept on top of.

While Sabina and Adam filled up the watering cans from the River Thames and ensured that the plot kept looking minty fresh and mint-ained high spirits in the process!
