2 Goodgymers supported Warwick Gates Community Centre with a litter pick and some weeding ahead of their Community Fun Day tomorrow.
Arriving at the centre with our litter pickers in hand it was clear that we had our work cut out as there was an awful lot of litter around the outskirts of the car park. Having warmed up our litter picking skills in Christchurch Gardens this morning, we got stuck in straight away and had the whole area cleared in no time.
This gave us some time to tackle the weeds that had taken root along the path to the centre's entrance, including a rogue tree that had decided to place itself along the path.
With tools in hand we got to work pulling out the weeds, sweeping them up and managed to fill an entire bin bag with what we removed from the path.
Unfortunately we ran out of time to complete the entire perimeter of the building but local residents will at least be welcomed by a much smarter entrance when they arrive for the centre's Fun Day tomorrow.
