Matthew, Debbie and Rachel joined the Sherwood Clean Champions for a spot of litter picking on a beautiful sunny Saturday morning. We met Rob from the Clean Champions at the entrance to the Pirate Park, where we equipped ourselves with pickers and purple bags. We then set off for an hour around the local Carrington area.

We first tackled the Pirate Park itself, then the roads behind it and around St John's churchyard. We also managed a little detour to the Carrington Community Garden, a small green space off of one of the residential streets. Here we found a lot of litter amongst the bushes, but it was a lovely little hidden gem of a space which has GoodGym written all over it for a potential future task (if we can find out who looks after it....).

Well done to Nigel and Matthew who both went along to help move a load of soil on the St Ann's Community Allotment.

Another job well done in one of Nottingham's many hidden gem green spaces. We hope to go back to the allotment soon to help some more.

Well done to Matt and first-timer, Debbie, who helped out at the Sneinton Primary School allotment this morning. As ever, Kathryn was over the moon with what was achieved - Matt laid the wood chip on the nice new path and Debbie did loads of cutting back at the rear of the garden. Well done to you both!

Also, congratulations to Matt who has now achieved 10 GoodGym tasks!!
