Community Groups
Community groups have proved to be one of the most powerful driving forces behind successful clean ups in Scotland - and it is no different for National Spring Clean.
Each year volunteers from civic pride, residents’ associations, Soroptomists, Rotaries, environmental groups, churches, conservation organisations and many more voluntary groups, play a vital role in making litter picks happen in their own areas. Many groups even pool their resources to carry out a joint spring clean.
Taking part in a litter pick can be a great team-building exercise for any group, whether they are from an established organisation or a group of individuals getting together for the first time, with everyone getting out into the fresh air and working towards a common goal. It demonstrates a shared interest in your local environment and a willingness to take action to improve it.
