As part of the Great British Spring Clean , Brent Goodgym joined up with Brent Council & Veolia who provided us with bin bags, litter pickers and gloves to help clear Willesden High Street of litter . We split into teams of three: Samina, James and Emily tackled the area around the library, Liz, Claudia and Valentina started on one side of the high street, and Pete, Sabina and Tabitha took the other side. After a good litter session we had filled four bags of rubbish plus four bags of recycling

With the street looking much cleaner, Veolia drove up to collect our bags, and we headed off home (some via the pub) knowing that what is good for our environment is good for our mental and physical health too.

Thank you for all the hard work, look forward to seeing you all again soon [Friday's mission at the foodbank here]https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/foodbank-clear-up-a54b7a61-5436-4ac5-9d8f-d43a9cc21d9b)
