A few GoodGym members picked up litter in their local community during the month of September. thank you for your efforts!

Armed with litter pickers and goodwill, a heroic gang of GoodGymers chose how to help clean up their own areas... Matthew in Wandsworth and Adi in Sydenham's Mayow Park, while Linda and Paul were both alongside the River Ravensbourne in Brookmill Park. Linda' trusted litter picker hoisted soggy, abandoned clothing out of the river and cleared bankside vegetation of plastic bottles that Paul hadn't been able to reach. Paul also pulled out a couple of clumps of the invasive Himalayan Balsam plant.

As always, it felt satisfying to pick a task that helps make the world a nicer place for both people and wildlife.

There were two GoodGym litterpickers out in different parts of Lewisham - Adi found a lot less litter in Sydenham's Mayow Park than last week. Paul also found less than last week in Deptford's Brookmill Park. He did find more herons ans more fox cubs.

London's community half marathon went red this year! 🔥

A huge congratulations to the oodles of GoodGym folk who caught well-earned happy mornings under a hot-hot-hot late summer sun ☺️

It was the biggest joy seeing you all!

Please send me your photos (!) and I will pop them up here (alexmurtough@goodgym.org) ❤️

Usual spots where rubbish is dumped and GG on top of it but becoming a normal thing. Personal walk or run and usual litterpicking on my routes like most of us.
