It was a scorcher at Leagrave Park this morning for this months litterpick as 8 of our dedicated Goodgymers got there sun hats and sun block out so they could support the Friends of Leagrave Park and abcd-in-luton with regular community litterpick. it was lovely to walk about in such a beautiful setting, which benefits so much from a monthly tidy up. Today there was roughly 15 bags collected, a buggy and a safe... yes a safe. Its fair to say it was a workout carrying (and dragging) it back to base. The folp had provided water for everyone that wanted it which was greatly appreciated at the end of the task. Magnificent effort today team 👏

5 of Luton Goodgyms finest had an early start at Leagrave Park this morning. The team set out to maintain the trees planted as part of the peace garden initiative run by Luton Borough Council. We cut back the long grass around the trees and weeded, mulched and watered them. Getting the water was a workout itself as Duncan and I filled up a couple of large containers with water from the river Lea and carried it across the cricket field to where the trees were. 🌳 The weather was nice and we managed to tend to the majority of the trees 🌳. Great effort team 👏

GoodGym led the Friends of Stopsley Common litter pick - welcoming a newcomer to the group.

Luckily there is much less litter than before due to our monthly efforts so we enjoyed the sun and flowers in bloom.

Followed by a group of horses we had a look at the pond GoodGym had helped to clear in the past which is now home to wildlife - frogs, dragonflies and more.

We found many kinds of beautiful flowers along the way so it was a lovely afternoon.

Today, Luton Goodgym supported the Friends of Leagrave Park with their monthly litterpick. A fantastic effort saw 15 bags of rubbish collected across the footprint of the park and all of the team that turned out played their part. Well done all, great effort

8 of Goodgym Luton's finest made their way to support the Friends of Bramingham Park and abcd-in-luton as they embarked on a litter pick, covering a vast area in Bramingham. After the usual litterpick briefing, that we've heard so many times, but is always so important. We all headed out to see how much litter we could find dotted around this local greenspace. The walk took a few of us into Bramingham wood, which is a lovely extension to the park but also a cheeky hiding place for all sorts of litter treats. I'd say with the other participants there must have been easily 20 bags of rubbish collected. Well done everyone, great effort this morning
