Take Part in The Great Chiswick Spring Clean
Local litter picking groups teaming up to collect rubbish
The day is the local part of the national Keep Britain Tidy campaign
March 14, 2024
Groups of litter pickers will be teaming up later this month for The Great Chiswick Spring Clean.
It is the local part of Keep Britain Tidy’s national Great British Spring Clean which is running from 15-31 March this year.
Back for its ninth year, it is the nation’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign. You can pledge to pick up just one bag of litter, or in the year that is the 70th anniversary of Keep Britain Tidy, take the Platinum Pledge to collect 70 bags.
To take part locally come along to Christ Church Turnham Green on Sunday 24 March, for an hour of litter picking around Chiswick from 2.30 - 3.30pm, followed by tea, cake, and time to chat.
The group that meets up every month on Turnham Green has linked up with the Chiswick Repair Cafe, and will have teams covering the eastern end of Chiswick, and another group in action in Grove Park that afternoon.
They are aiming to cover as much of Chiswick as they can, so if you would prefer to join a group in a different Chiswick location other than the one that operates from Christ Church, please let them know by emailing jill.spencer@christchurchw4.com and they’ll try and put you in touch with others – or help you start your own group.
You should bring your own gardening gloves and dress appropriately (currently the forecast is for some rain on the day.
The group meets on the fourth Sunday of each month (excluding December).
Subsequent litter picks take place on:
28 April
26 May
23 June
28 July
25 August
22 September
27 October
24 November
