Bravo brave GGers, battling with high winds, inside-out bags and bored or bemused pet dogs!

We each chose a beach or river to litter-pick during September, getting out in the fresh air to join the Marine Conservation Society's campaign to clean Britain's coasts and inland waters.

Well done for taking a moment from your month to make a small difference that adds up to a big impact.

Superb efforts from everyone who took part in litter picks across Portsmouth and beyond today!

Mel and Vicki kicked things off nice and early with a pick at Alexandra Park, although Jane was actually first in with her pick last night! Julie received plenty of praise from passers by as she cleaned up by Lidl. Laura and her dog, Woody, completed an early morning beach clean. It seems Woody was disappointed he didn't find any snacks, only food wrappers!

We've had a trolley retrieved from the chalk cliffs of Paulsgrove by Lucy and Duncan, a beach clean in Bracklesham with an accompanying sea dip for Judy and Val and a whopping 16 mile run with a cemetery litter pick by Andy!

Nia and baby Zoe headed to Southampton Common for their pick, whilst Dave and I took a stroll through Sherwood Forest to burn off a very unnecessary sundae!

Ness and Sinéad focused on the shoreline for their picks at Fort Cumberland and Langstone Harbour respectively.

We'll be back to normal next week with a visit to the You Trust in North End for some painting and decorating. Hopefully see you in person then!

This week we've seen lots of activities for Diabetes Awareness Week, demonstrating true GoodGym spirit in the fight against diabetes.

Some of us opted for walks, whilst others opted for runs, and some bike rides too! A huge shout out to Tracey in demonstrating true warrior spirit, and to Lucy and Abby who took part in the Hoppit Half Marathon and Marathons.

Well done everyone. It's so good to see you all moving and making the most of the week!
