Since the last news update, we have:
a) Continued with our twice monthly litter picks :
6 volunteers met at Summerfields on Wednesday 04-JUN-25. We covered the surrounding area collecting 7 bags and various car parts, carpets etc.
7 volunteers met at Bank Square on Saturday 07-JUN-25. We covered the town centre and collected 12 bags.
b) Continued with our solo picks.
c) Attended the “Eco Club” after school event at Pownall Hall School on 09-JUN-25. We enjoyed talking to the pupils about our activities and found them to be fully engaged with environmental matters.
d) Lent some equipment to 4th Wilmslow Scout Group who did an excellent job collecting 6 bags of litter from Broadway Meadow carpark and the footpath adjacent to the railway lines (from the train station to the high school).
e) Received a donation of £300 towards our funds from Morgan Lovell. Whenever Howdens Insurance expand an office, they ask the successful contractor to donate to a charity / voluntary group. They chose us this time – for which we are very grateful.
f) Some of our volunteers litter picked at the Wilmslow Live Music Festival on 21-JUN-25 – for which we will be receiving a donation towards our funds.
g) Heard from Julie Dawn Potts who is getting Chapel Lane ready for the RHS “Britain In Bloom” judging on Thursday 17-JUL-25. She is planning a ‘Tidy Up’ afternoon on Sunday 13-JUL-25 for anyone who can help litter picking or weeding. They are meeting outside Chelsea Flowers at 14:00 – everyone is very welcome. More info on the “Love The Lane” Facebook page.
h) Liaised with another potential “Duke Of Edinburgh” scheme volunteer.
