It was a great pleasure to be part of this program today, indeed I made a good decision joining Goodgym!

Well I guess it would be nice.... to do another litterpick at Leagrave Park. This month along with helping the FoLP with their monthly litterpick, this task was also helping Kevin from ABCD-IN-LUTON complete another leg of his Great British Spring Clean challenge, where he is working with lots of different community groups to help get Luton Tidy and Keep Britian Tidy as part of a national initiative that he has spearheaded locally for the last few years. 6 Luton Goodgymers joined some local residents to see what they could find on the walk around the park today. A purse, an iPhone, a rather scary knife (which was dealt with appropriately) a sign for a car boot sale, the arm of a sofa and a drone amongst other delights all added to a haul of roughly 20 bags of rubbish. The team had fun too some taking on the woodland, others enjoying a nice stroll in the sunshine and a couple opting to get the waders on and head into the river Lea. But before that river becomes an ocean I need to give a shout out to our GG first timer Osama Faith. I hope you enjoyed the task and we look forward to seeing you out with the team again soon. Another great effort today team 👏 Well done everyone.

A team from Goodgym Luton spent their Saturday morning supporting The Friends of Leagrave Park and ABCD-IN-LUTON with the regular monthly litterpick. There was quite a nice relaxed vibe as we all walked round gathering up plastic bottles, empty drinks cans and other bits of rubbish that had been discarded in the park. The highlight of the morning for a few of us was seeing the kingfisher that flashes by occasionally. 10 bags of rubbish collected today. Great effort team 👏 👍🏻

8 if Luton Goodgyms finest came out to support the Friends of Leagrave Park along with Kevin from ABCD-IN-LUTON for the first litterpickof 2025. The members from the local community made the numbers up to 14 attendees and as ever we found an eclectic mix of rubbish 🗑 in the hour and a half we were there. A bread basket, a tyre and the rear windscreen of a car to go with the 24 bags of rubbish we all collected, but for me the most interesting find was a bollard from a local car park. it was heavy but I managed to move it to a place it can be collected by the council and returned to its rightful place. Shockingly Omar found a knife which Kevin from ABCD-IN-LUTON has dealt with in the appropriate manner. Great effort as ever team. Well done 👏

10 of Luton Goodgyms elite, helped the Friends of Leagrave Park with their last litterpick of 2024. We were joined by members of the local community and 2 special guests as Father Christmas and Spiderman joined the volunteers. As ever the haul was hefty, 27 bags of waste collected with the usual intriguing odds and sods. A car tyre, a shopping trolley (of course), and a cool Thunderbirds action figure. Duncan deserves a massive shout out for pulling on the waders and getting into the river Lea to grab rubbish we feel like we've been looking at for months. Great effort team 👌 You are all amazing 👏

7 Goodgymers joined abcd-in-luton and the FoLP for the monthly litterpick at Leagrave Park. The team were out enjoying what was a relatively mild autumn 🍂 day as we all did our best to help keep the park clear of rubbish 🗑. After an hour collecting litter, we'd all collected 15 bags in total, a children's bike and several parts to what we think was a quad bike. Great effort by the team and definitely really appreciated by the community. Well done 👏 ✔️ 👍🏻

It was the monthly litterpick today at Leagrave park, thankfully the weather was kind to us after a week of heavy rain and flooding so no armbands required. It was thin on the ground for GoodGym representation, as a bunch of the Luton crew were away climbing Ben Nevis! We cracked on regardless along with some other volunteers and managed to fill 7 bags between the 4 of us. Extra praise for Abim who even walked a rogue trolley which had escaped back to the supermarket. Lots of soggy litter but it was all smiles in the September sunshine.
