litter pick incoming for August! 🥳

🕐 10:30, 29 August
📍 Plantation Square, meeting on the corner of Govan Road and Plantation Square

We are especially keen on tackling Plantation Square and the surrounding area as it is in need of some love. There is a playground as well - an ideal way of giving back to the community.

Hope to see you there! All gear provided! 🚮

Wondered how we did in the Glasgow Litter Picking Games?!

We won silver! 🥈🥳

In just an hour with 9 volunteers in total, we managed to gather 17 black bags of litter in the Kinning Park area around the Paisley Road West Toll! That's a serious amount of litter in a short period, well done all!

Congratulations to G3 Litter Free for coming 1st 🥇 and G42 Litter Rescue for coming in 3rd!

There has been a lot of work done around the city to get ready for the Commonwealth Games, I hope we can keep this spirit up and take care of the city beyond. Any day, any year. 💪🏼

Kinning Park Spogomi 2026 done and dusted with Get Govan Gleaming and ! 🥳

What a great way to bring folk together to make a difference in our area! It was a great success. 👏🏼 People joined us from all over Glasgow, not just Kinning Park! There are loads of people that truly care about Glasgow. 💛

The amount of litter that got picked up in a space of 30mins was staggering. As always, there were some interesting pieces. 😂 Two bed bases, a car bumper and a sign. We awarded prizes of gold, silver and bronze to 3 teams and 3 individuals and medals for everyone.

We had a heap of snacks and refreshments, kindly sponsored by a local business - Urban Office. They are an architect-led development company that specialise in transforming derelict historical buildings for co-working, creative work, community spaces and private offices. This includes The Old Schoolhouse building on Portman Street in Kinning Park where they have a base. This support means a lot to us, thank you! Please find their socials below and check them out!

We'd also like to thank the Kinning Park Complex for hosting us, providing a great space for people to come together afterward, as well as teas and coffees. We're thankful that we have this space in Kinning Park to support the community.

Until Spogomi 2027... See you then! 🥳
