On a lovely warm evening Helena and Matthew from GoodGym joined three others, Chantelle from a local charity and the ever amazing James and Jimmy from Alley Angels, in order to pick in an area of Anfield, nicknamed "The Square" by James because of the amount of litter that is dumped here.

Massive shout out to Helena for coming along, and for running to and from the pick as it is quite a distance from where she lives.

With 5 enthusiastic pickers we managed to clear something like 8 bags in just under an hour and a half and spoke with lots of locals about what we are trying to do. It was great to meet old friends and new ones and to know we are making a small but visible difference in the battle against this horrible blight.

If anyone has a place in Liverpool they would like to have picked and they are reading this, or indeed anywhere that GoodGym has a group, then please contact us and we will surely be able to come and help out at some point.
