Last night we switched on our head torches and set forth with litter picks at Hurst Community Centre. Our wombling collected discarded sweet wrappers, cigarette butts, tissues, bottles, cans, a metal spoon, several plastic balls and more besides. Lots ticked off our litter picking bingo cards, but not quite a full house.

Forty-five minutes later ⏰️: three bags of litter properly disposed of, and a dumped Christmas tree 🎄 moved off the pavement!

Good deeding, with good company to boot... plenty enough to keep us warm on a chilly January night!

Next week it's something completely different at a local primary school. Come and lend a hand 💪.

Last night our wonderful GoodGymers worked wonders at Wonder Zone Nursery!

It was also Sophie's first ever GG task, and Martin's 100th good deed so there was lots to celebrate.

Running, walking and cycling to the nursery, nine of us were met by Olu, one of the trustees, and he explained the task: tidy up the driveway leading to the nursery and the children's outdoor play area.

There was plenty to do:

• Sweep up sand that had overspilled from children playing in the sandpit.
• Hoover the astroturf areas.
• Remove the painted yellow bay divider lines and a disabled bay symbol from the yard's former life as a car park.
• Clear weeds and leaves from the driveway.

And that's just what we did!

In just an hour the difference was clear to see - all neat and tidy, ready for the children to enjoy!

Afterwards there was flapjack to mark Martin's brilliant GG100 milestone, and we headed to the local Weatherspoons to continue the fun over some food and drinks.
