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.

5 Goodgym Rock n Roll Stars enjoyed the nearly sunsheeiiiiine looking after the trees Round Are Way at Leagrave Park.

Ferrying water felt like Half A World Away, but we had a Masterplan with access to the water tap in the compound.

Filling our water carrier we took turns to Roll With It, being careful not to let it Slide Away down the slope to the cricket pitch, to give our trees some much needed sustenance.

Watering, mulching and weeding maintenance over the months has meant that Little By Little the trees are growing stronger and will hopefully Live Forever.

We then joined the Friends of Leagrave Park litter to help find Cigarettes and Alcohol and Bag It Up.

Whatever you say there’s a lot to be said about The Importance of (not) Being Idle.
