We will be calling out for people to help from a constituted group to create aims, a vision and how these can be put into place.

Sunday Litterpicks
back to events summary
We are discussing our litterpicking sessions while still being able to keep everyone safe. We have had a lot of vulnerable members who are still unsure about being a part of group sessions. We envisage doing one session a month where volunteers can pick
up litterpicking kit and drop back to us or can keep hold of it until the following month.
Our next Sunday litterpicks will be:
- Sunday 1st August 11am – 12.30pm
- Sunday 5th September 11am – 12.30pm
- Meet outside Gino’s cafe (central cafe).
If you need a top up on clear bags or extra kit, come on down to collect.
If you have kit and would like to return it, please do so at these times. Litterpicking kit isn’t cheap and its always in demand so we need as much of it back if you are not using it.
