Picked up 2 huge bin bags full of rubbish around Cranes Park area and in the alleyway behind Hollyfield school

A welcome return to Surbiton Library on a bright evening as part of the WWF x GoodGym’s Workout for Nature event to celebrate Earth Day.

There was nature of sorts, as those of us who have been here before will know that the ivy grows fast and there are plenty of weeds to prise out of gaps in the paving.

Kudos to Dave, Julie and Rachel for the gardening while Tom, Amy, Alexis and Emily first got going with the litter pickers to remove the various nasties that were lurking around. Lovely to then get a bonus help from both Andy and his daughter Verity, who proved an expert sweeper.

Great to be outside, and doing good as ever.

For this task we met the lovely members of the residents association and local counciller Tom Reeve to help keep their vicinity clearer and tidier. Items found included clothes, carpets and a broken washing maiden. What a lovely morning spent chatting and soaking up the sun. All while making a difference, bonus.
