It's official: we love swans! We had great fun feeding them around the city with family, friends or just individually. The rain didn't put us off fitting in little litter picks too.

Beaches, river banks, ponds & lakes were all cared for in January by Portsmouth GoodGym.

We went out with family, friends, in groups or as solitary litter-pickers.

Our area has healthier waterways and coasts as a result of our care.

We donated our unwanted bras to Against Cancer charity who will transform them into funds for vital research to beat cancer.

It was hard to give them up, but we gave some of our books to Tesco who will sell them and give the profits to the Fratton Together Food Pantry.

Andi had help from Little Miss who happily packed up a mini collection for other children to enjoy.

We donated our colourful bobble hats for Warm Welcome Week. They will form part of a community display at the Community Kettle before being passed on to people who need them this Winter.

So many Goodgymers from Portsmouth and London heeded the call to show their appreciation of our squirrels by feeding them and cleaning up their green patch. !

The cute creatures were fast, fought off competition from pigeons and crows and dodged the raindrops to get to the food on offer. It was a lovely way to reconnect with nature.

Well done to everyone for getting out there on a drizzly Monday.

I think Jane won the early bird award, out before dawn.

Richard wins the best photo (dog pics are always a favourite with me!)

Val & Judy opted to be social and walked together with a coffee stop, cheers to that idea ☕

Harry proved what Motivation Monday is all about by squeezing a walk in right at the end of the day.

Great work everyone! Same again next week.
