"Becoming a litter pick hub has been a natural progression of our grass roots community engagement, focused towards real life improvements! We are passionate about our environment and want to support others in making a difference.
Sincere thanks to CleanUpUK and our kind funder Riverside Housing Group for enabling us to purchase additional litter pick equipment!"
Litter pick equipment kits for both children and adults can be borrowed from the centre throughout the year. Please just give them a call to start your own local litter pick.
Picks can occur often or you could just do a one off...there are no rules or expectations and any action to reduce litter is what we are aiming for.
Equipment available includes litter pickers, bags, bag hoops, high vis vests, protective gloves and a how to guide.
