A brilliant effort this morning for three Goodgymmers Nick, Mick and jimmy joined Rich from Canal And River Trust got stuck into a litterpick and general tidy-up along the canal. Huge well done to all of them making the session happen after a tense moment thinking we weren't going to make the minimum numbers. Shout out to Mick who came along for his very first Good Deed, great to have you with us, and hope you are back for more.

With gloves, life jackets on and bags at the ready, they tackled everything from stray cans and footballs to pesky plastics, giving the canal path a well deserved spruce up. It’s amazing what a difference a small team can make in just a short time!

Some lovely comments from the GoodGym community:

💬 Jen says: “Wow it looks great 👍 well done folks 👏”

💬 Ashley adds: “Jolly good job there folks 👏”

💬 Lindsay says: “Lovely day for it too 🌞”

Weldone to everyone who came along keeping it going 💪.
