Weekly Litter Pick

On Sunday morning we had 26 volunteers plus 3 Transition Year Students for our Weekly Litter Pick. Denis and his team of TYs continued with adding compost to the orchards at Westgate Foundation.

We collected 8 bags of litter which will be segregated.

A very positive result is becoming apparent to our volunteers as they carry out our Litter Picks and that is the huge reduction in the number of empty plastic bottles and cans we are collecting since the Return It Campaign Started.

This week two Residents Groups were in touch with us following work by residents in their areas. Maglin Estate done a clean up at weekend. We collected bags from them as a result of their efforts Alysbury Estate did a big clean up on Friday night and we collected  nine clear plastic bags of hedge clippings.

Sunflowers 🌻

This week the weather was a little kinder to us and we managed to plant out our Sunflowers in the allotment. Hope later this year we will have a great show from these magnificent flowers. 🌻
