We are Bon Volks, a non-profit arts organisation operating in the spirit of common care and collective organising, providing affordable workspace to creative practitioners and organising environmental projects in our local community.
We support and organize neighborhood clean-ups, aiming to empower our local community with the resources they need to take care of their surroundings. Located next to Dane Park—a large public space cherished by residents—we want to work closely with the volunteers who regularly carry out litter picks to keep the area clean.
Equipment available includes litter pickers, bags, bag hoops, high vis vests, protective gloves and a how to guide.
