This bank holiday Monday 9 GGers met to team up with Beautify Balham to do a huge litter pick on the National Big Help Out day.
It was great to have Lily along for her first session - welcome to the group!
Together we ran to Balham where we met up with the rest of the team, got ourselves kitted out with litter pickers and bags, and headed off to our allocated area.
With Lorna leading the way to the leisure centre we picked up along the roads of Balham, finding all manner of plastic and other rubbish.
We picked solidly for an hour and had lots of interest from passers by keen to know what we were up to - hopefully we didn't look too much like we were doing community service!
We finished off with several full bags of rubbish and the streets of Balham looking cleaner and clearer of plastic. After all that work we were treated to a free glass of bubbly from the wine shop round the corner as a reward. As we sat in the sun we discussed parkrun, racing, and of course the coronation got a mention or two!
Next week our timings are back to normal and we're off to Providence House youth centre to help with their outside space. You can sign up for more Monday fun right here!. Hope to see you then. Have a lovely week, all.
