April continued to show just how much people across Cornwall care about the places around them.
Last month, 529 volunteers took part in 43 registered litter picks across Cornwall, with 227 bags of waste already reported through our data returns so far.
Behind every one of those numbers are people giving up their time to look after beaches, lanes, villages, towns and green spaces simply because they want to make a difference. Thank you to every volunteer, group, school, business and community organisation that has been out supporting cleaner local environments throughout April.
As always, the figures only reflect the data currently submitted, so if you have not yet returned your litter pick information, please do send it through. It helps us build a clearer picture of the impact volunteers are making right across Cornwall.
We are also continuing to roll out new equipment through our Pubs as Hubs scheme, helping more communities access free litter picking equipment locally. This week we are looking forward to heading to St Ives to deliver new kits to the Royal British Legion as the network continues to grow.
Thank you again to everyone continuing to show up, organise picks, borrow equipment, encourage others and quietly make a difference every single week π
