🫶 Community spirit at its best! @MargateWi raised £820 for The Garden Gate Project through a pop-up dinner. With the help of local businesses, they created a seasonal feast that supports mental health and disability initiatives. 🍂🌱 #Support #Community #margate #thanet #kent

@KeepBritainTidy We are doing the pledge and as part of that, yesterday spent 70 minutes picking up rubbish in Westbrook. We filled 24 bags!

2024 marks 70 years since Keep Britain Tidy was first founded. Help us to carry on the legacy of our original #LitterHeroes. Make a platinum pledge of 70 bags, or promise to spend 70 minutes litter-picking during the #GBSpringClean: KeepBritainTidy.org/GBSpringClean

Join our members and help @KeepBritainTidy mark their 70th birthday in 2024 by making a pledge to take part in the #GBSpringClean. We have taken the #PlatinumPledge to spend at least 70 mins litter picking & aim to fill 50 bags. Wish us luck!

You don’t need to wear a cape to be a #LitterHero! All you need to get started is a pair of gloves, a litter-picker, and a desire to improve the environment on your doorstep. Start your #GBSpringClean journey. Sign up at KeepBritainTidy.org/GBSpringClean
