Since the last news update, we have:
a) Continued with our twice monthly litter picks :
8 volunteers met at Bank Square on Wednesday 1st February. We covered the surrounding area including the station, the leisure centre, Sainsbury’s car park and the Bollin Link Road. We collected at least 14 bags and some recyclables. Many thanks to the 2 “Pets At Home” staff who came along.
An even higher turnout of 12 volunteers met at The Honey Bee on Saturday 5th March. We collected at least 21 bags and some recyclables. We focussed on Altrincham Road and the area near the airport tunnels. One volunteer went over to the Prestbury Road and did the verges on the roundabout at the back of the high school. Thanks to Elliot who came along with his father – he has been doing a great job as part of his Duke Of Edinburgh award.
Thanks to everyone who participated.
b) Continued with our solo picks.
c) Continued trials with the new trolley – and received interest from a volunteer who is keen to use it in future.
c) Liaised with Wilmslow Town Council about the degree of involvement in the coronation related activities being planned in the town. We have decided to re-jig our May picks. We have swapped the locations and we have moved the Saturday pick to the following Monday. This is so that we aren’t clashing with the coronation. It also means we can be in the town centre and therefore more visible for “The Big Help Out” on the Monday :
In tribute to His Majesty The King’s public service, The Big Help Out will encourage people to try volunteering for themselves and join the work being undertaken to support their local areas. The aim of The Big Help Out is to use volunteering to bring communities together and create a lasting volunteering legacy from the Coronation Weekend.”
