This autumn, the Broadclyst Environment Group will be holding three community litter picks across the parish, inviting residents of all ages to get involved in helping keep the area clean and green.

The events will also be the first outing for the group’s brand-new litter picking equipment, made possible thanks to a generous grant from Broadclyst Parish Council. The new kit includes:

– Litter pickers in adult and child sizes
– High-visibility jackets for all ages
– Litter bag hoops
– First aid kits

The group will also be using its existing supply of heavy-duty gloves and bin bags.

Everyone is welcome to join in — it’s a great way to support the local environment and meet others in the community.
