START POINT: PETER LE MARCHANT BASE - CANALSIDE MOORINGS, BEECHES ROAD, LOUGHBOROUGH

START TIME: 10AM

As a Trust, it is important that we encourage our future volunteers to understand all that we do, including looking after our canals and the environment.  As part of our new Youth Project Programme, our charity conducted a litter pick, setting off from our base on Saturday May 15^th starting at 10.00am.

We had organisations coming out with us to pick including the SBC paddlers, Loughborough Tornados and Loughborough Students Canoe club and one of our canal day boats, Symphony, also headed out to collect the bags of rubbish and provided refreshments through the onboard hatch to the participants on the water!

It was great fun and we successfully cleared our beautiful waters of some unwanted rubbish.

We will be holding more litter picking days in due course. If you'd like to be involved, please contact Angie Whitmore on our usual number or email her at [email protected]
