On a glorious sunny Sunday morning, many of us may choose to spend the day at the beach, going for a run or cycle in the park, or simply doing nothing at all and laying in bed. But that is not the case for a dedicated group of volunteers in one part of Cardiff, who instead spend the time cleaning up their community.
Launched in 2015, Keep Grangetown Tidy organises monthly community litter picks in an effort to bring local residents together and make Grangetown a cleaner place to live. Each month, a small army of volunteers - including adults, children and even some four-legged friends - descend on the area's streets armed with litter pickers and bin bags, often filling over 50 of them in the process.
This is no punishment either, with smiles on the faces of all those giving up their time to take part, no matter how grim the assignment. It is an initiative reflective of the immense pride and community spirit that is felt right across Grangetown, and the group's work does not go unnoticed, with fellow residents taking time out to thank them for their efforts.
