Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Amy L GoodGym (she/her)
Friday lunchtimes in RBWM in January are all about litter picking!
Tessa, Rosie and Dave met me in a sunny but breezy Grenfell Park. Congrats Rosie on her first litter pick! Great to see Dave back for his second session too. Kudos to Tessa as well as this was her second good deed of the day, and another bingo box ticked off!
We found masses of litter! The usual bottles, snack packaging and vapes but also pots and pans, cosmetics, shoes, socks, bracelets, bike parts, train tickets and the book Dead Man Walking by Anne Cleve. The mix was definitely more eclectic than what we've found in other parks this month.
Meanwhile lots of other GoodGymers litter picked near their places of work or home.
I'm delighted to welcome Liv back for her second good deed with us (and 456th in total!) Her first was at our launch back in 2020, when she was working for GoodGym. She's now living a bit nearer so hopefully everyone will have the chance to meet her soon. Well done puppy Bagel, who joined Liv on her litter pick.
Lisa and Christine both found lots of litter in streets near their homes in Maidenhead and Viv and Angela did the same in Furze Platt, also with help from a furry friend - well done Flora!
Sol was inspired by Georgeta to carry a separate bag for recyclables and diverted lots of bottles and cans away from landfill. Georgeta did the same but also reported finding a football, a running shoe and a cider drinking glass.
Diya filled two bags on her lunchtime outing and was thanked by lots of passers-by, including someone who knew GoodGym from our sessions at Braywick Heath Plant Nurseries.
Well done team!

Dave Cox earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Dave completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Dave was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

Dave Cox has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Dave is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

Three cheers to all the GoodGymers who got out and used their energy to tidy up our streets and parks.
A big welcome to first-timers Dave and Christine, who joined me at Kidwells Park along with Sheila and Tessa. I confidently said there wouldn't be masses of litter in the park. What rubbish!
Sol picked up 4 bucket-fulls of litter near her workplace.
Diya and Kanika reported '2 big bags of frozen litter picked up by frozen people'.
Georgeta targeted the A404 underpass in Cox Green and filled up 2 bags - landfill waste in one and recyclables in the other.
Viv and Angela also litter picked locally, along with honorary canine GoodGym member Flora.
