Team GG joined forces with Southsea Beachwatch on a very windy morning to clear rubbish and assist them with their litter survey. We did feel like boats when the wind caught the binbags and turned them into sails!

A very warm welcome to Andy on their first task. Was awesome to meet you and have a good chat about Pompey and the area.

Happy to report that the beach was relatively tidy! Maybe down to the amazing British weather keeping people away! There were a number of golf balls found which impressed us as they had cleared the course fence, the road and the prom! That must have been some hit!!

Luckily there was very little litter in Southsea beach this morning. We still found a sock and Abby found some bones.

A very windy beach clean! Lots of chasing rubbish. Wilson was very happy finding a toy chicken foot. Ellie made after tail walking in havant. Judy nearly got hit in the face by some soggy trunks. Lots of small bits of plastic and sweet wrappers.

Welcome Nicola to your first GoodGym session, hopefully the first of many!

All I can tell you about today's litter pick is that Judy lost her phone and Nick said that there were no interesting finds for the day!

Hopefully the sea breeze blew away the cobwebs for everyone. On behalf of the beach and marine life, thank you for your support!

It was good to get back to joining Southsea Beachwatch and lots of other volunteers for a monthly beach clean.

Our group included Alice & Chris, who fitted in a visit to Father Christmas, and Louisa, Yvonne and their doggie beach-combers, Pip and Benny.

As well as collecting plastics, litter and fishing tackle to add to Southsea Beachwatch's large sack of collected rubbish, we also reunited lost items with their owners. Yvonne found my lost glove and Rosie returned a woolly hat to a young beachwatcher.

So many good deeds in one day!

Ellie and Sinéad attended park run before beach cleaning! Ellie got a PB.

We littered picked between Speakers corner and the pyramids. Lots of cigarette butts and bottle tops. Plus graffiti

Maura found 50p good deeds pay! 😄
