Keep Boro Tidy Community Litter Pick

As a Do Good, Feel Good event, come and join us to give back to our community.

What You'll Do: 

The hard working crews at Middlesbrough Council keep the town clean and tidy all year round but are asking for a little bit of help in doing so. 

 

On Thursday 24th April, we will meet at the Student Life Building at 12:30pm and walk over to Newport Community Hub. The litter pick will be between 1-2pm. All gloves, pickers and bags will be provided. Please wear suitable footwear and weather appropriate clothing. We will then join a team of volunteers and help to "Keep Boro Tidy!" 

Why You'll Love It: 
The sense of community from getting together with others for a single litter pick can boost your mood significantly, as can seeing the results of your actions and knowing you have helped tidy the local area. Passers-by will often give you a nod or a smile of appreciation or even strike up a conversation.    You will meet the volunteering team at the University and fellow volunteers who are all like minded and what to give something back to the community. 
What You'll Learn: 
You will learn about your local area and ways in which you can improve the space around you.    A clean, tidy environment can also enhance a sense of pride and encourage further positive actions.
What We're Looking For: 
Volunteers who are wanting to make a difference and give something back. Volunteers who want to help the residents of Middlesbrough, businesses and the community. Together, we can all help to #KeepBoroTidy!
