The Great British Spring Clean is the country’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign and aims to bring together individuals, community organisations, businesses and councils to make a difference to the environment on our doorstep.
The campaign was first run in 2017. In 2018, despite the Beast from the East, more than 371,566 litter heroes (including more than 126,651 school children) collected over 630,000 bags of rubbish. In total 13,500 events were held over the campaign period and 300 local authorities took part.
2019
The 2019 campaign, which runs from March 22nd to April 23rd will see up to half a million people taking part to clean up streets, parks and beaches across the country.
Keep Britain Tidy Chief Executive Allison Ogden-Newton said:
“The Great British Spring Clean is an opportunity for the millions of people who care about the environment on their doorstep to do something positive that will make a visible difference.”
Please join us
Upchurch Parish Council is once again calling on all villagers to volunteer as litter pickers and clean up Upchurch!
Previous Spring Cleans have inspired many of our village groups and residents to take part in the litter pick. The tremendous village effort resulted in dozens of sacks of litter being cleaned up from our village spaces and the surrounding country lanes.
Thank you for your help and support.
