Tell us: do you help clean up your local area?

July 23, 2026 / Sarkiya Ranen /


Across the UK, people are getting together to clean up their local environments. Whether it be maintaining parkland, beaches, waterways or roadsides, we want to hear from the volunteers who are getting involved in the maintenance and preservation of their local areas.

Do you take part in weekly litter picking outings? Are you part of a group taking on the responsibility of keeping our beaches or rivers clean?

Whether you’re part of a volunteer group or go out on solo clean-ups, we’d like to hear from you.
