Welcome to Amy and Janet on their first official GoodGym good deed.

We met up with Scott from People & Stories and Anita from Action Asylum at the City of Sanctuary plus a group of her asylum seekers from all parts of the world including El Salvador, Ethiopia and Afghanistan. They were all very complimentary about the welcome they've had from the folk of Portsmouth which is always good to hear! We had fun working together, using the app and practicing each other's languages.

As it was low tide, we headed towards the entrance to the marshes and down into the seaweed. Some bits were more sinky than others.... We logged lots for Jetsam as there was sadly lots of plastic.

"Interesting" finds included a flannel, some bits of rope, a bag, a pen, lots of milk bottle lids. Plus the usual bottles, crisp packets etc. The big surprise was that we didn't find any items of clothing!

Thanks to Anita & Scott for the additional photos as I didn't take very many!
