Litter Pick - Saturday 14th May

On Saturday 15th May we held a now annual litter pick at the trust. We hosted 34 young people and families out on the water and landside on the tow path collecting an interesting mixture of rubbish including a tv, lots of bottles and cans, a lampshade and the usual shopping trolley pulled from the water! We were fortunate to have the Canal and River Trust loan us some canoes for the pick with their instructor Andy Oughton, and we look forward to having them with us again.

People volunteer for so many different reasons and each reason is unique to the individual. For some it is the sense of offering back to their community, others volunteer to boost their CV, whilst for many it is about the companionship and friendship.
