Turnham Green Litter Pick Taking Place This Sunday
Students taking their Duke of Edinburgh award can volunteer
Chiswick litter pick volunteers
There is another community litter pick this Sunday (23 October) on Turnham Green.
For one hour, volunteers collect rubbish left on the Green and surrounding streets. You are welcome to join them and will be given tea and cake afterwards. Make sure you are wearing appropriate clothing and bring gardening gloves.
To take part meet the group outside Christ Church Turnham Green on Town Hall Avenue (W4 5DT) at 2.30pm.
The organisers are calling on any student wishing to volunteer to help out as part of their Duke of Edinburgh, bronze, and silver awards to get in touch.
Cllr Ron Mushiso said, “To date, we have worked with 6 students and helped them to pass their DofE. What's more; several of them have stayed on and continued to support this civic cause after completion.
“I can't say it enough but there is something remarkably humbling about coming together to do the simple things in aide of the wider community.
“We need more people to have this experience. It is rewarding.
