🌟 WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MORNING! 🌟
Today saw the launch of Connecting Communities – Cleaning 1 Street at a Time, and what a fantastic success it was!
💚 Over 20 amazing volunteers took part as well as 1 very special Little Picker who was full of smiles
🗑️ 38 bags of rubbish collected👏
Countless streets made cleaner, safer and more welcoming for everyone
That's 38 bags of litter removed from the streets of Annfield Plain in just a couple of hours. An incredible achievement and a real example of what can happen when a community comes together with a shared purpose.
A huge thank you to every single person who gave up their Sunday morning to help. Whether you picked litter, supported the event, brought children along, helped with refreshments or simply came to show your support, you all played a part in making today a success.
But this is only the beginning.
This group will now be led forward by Michael Millmore, who will be helping to grow and develop the project over the coming months. The vision is simple: to build a friendly team of volunteers who take pride in where they live and work together to keep our villages looking their best.
We'll be targeting different areas, bringing more people together and creating a positive community movement that everyone can be part of.
If you'd like to get involved, we'd love to welcome you. You don't need any experience, just a willingness to make a difference.
And finally, a gentle reminder to everyone: please take your rubbish home, use the bins provided and help us keep our villages clean, tidy and welcoming for all.
🏡 Be proud of where you live.🤝 Be part of the solution.💚 Together we really can make a difference, one street at a time.
