4 Goodgymers made their way to Peoples Park, to help the Friends of Peoples Park with their monthly litterpick. The team welcomed Yousef to his first task as we all got stuck in to help the team of volunteers collect well over 20 bags of litter, around 8 of which were all filled with recyclable waste. It was a lovely day for a stroll in the park and making such a positive impact on the environment made it all the more enjoyable. Well done team 👏

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.

Another month another litterpick at Leagrave Park. 8 of Luton Goodgyms finest turned out with the monthly event held by the FoLP. Over 25 bags of rubbish were collected along with a hub cap, the back seat of a car and a tyre. Kev from ABCD-IN-LUTON brought along a new contraption to essentially vacuum the cigarette 🚬 butt's off the floor. That was a wonder to behold. Great effort by everyone today. 👏

This week we had two tasks on offer again as we continue to make the most of the good summer weather.

The walking group headed off to meet new task owner Rajab from the Safer Luton Partnership, supported by Kevin from ABCD luton who provided tools. The task was to clean up the communal garden at a sheltered housing block so that the residents can regain control and start looking after the place themselves and enjoy growing nice plants instead of weeds.

Meanwhile a combined running and biking team headed out to the distant Bradley Road allotment where previous clear ups have brought this allotment back into a tidy state nearly ready for new allotment tenants. Our task this time was to clean up the entrance area and the access road of the litter and fly-tipped bundles of tree branches to make the approach more attractive. bollards will be installed on the track to prevent.

When both tasks were complete each team headed back into town under the glow of a sunset rainbow 🌈 to complete the evening.

3 goodgymers made there way to Leagrave Park for a post parkrun drink with the Peace Initiative trees.

After a dry couple of weeks and with more good weather forecast the trees had a plentiful drink to keep them healthy and ready to hit the autumn.

Martin managed to get the keys to the compound for access to the tap(!!), so no sliding down the riverbank to draw water this time - a much more civilized event!

More water to come in a couple of weeks time before the Friends of Leagrave Park litter pick.

2 Goodgymers from Luton's ranks helped Friends of Peoples Park this weekend with their monthly litterpick. There were about 15 people from the local community that attended and roughly 20 bags were collected. Great effort by all involved.
