Back for its ninth year, the Great British Spring Clean is the nation’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign.
The Great British Spring Clean and Great Big School Clean 2024 takes place from 15 - 31 March, and you can pledge to pick up a bag of litter – or more.
Last year, the army of amazing #LitterHeroes pledged to pick more than 400,000 bags of litter.
Several times a year, GoodGym Stockport take part in Plogging group runs to help to keep our wonderful community free of litter and debris.
Our run began from Life Leisure Avondale, with 7 runners in tow, armed with litter pickers, gloves and bags! We ran a circular 7.5km route, covering Edgeley, Cale Green and finally Adswood.
We focused some of our attention on the area around a local school and received wonderful feedback from the Headteacher who appreciated our efforts to keep the area clean.
We even had BAGS of fun doing so!
