Hawkesley Community Centre sit within the Three Estates in Kings Norton. As a key asset within the area, we want to encourage the local community to be proud of where they live and to be a part of keeping the area tidy.
Litter picking is not only good for the environment, but it is also a way for locals to socialize, meet other people and to have a sense of achievement by getting involved.
By keeping the area tidy, locals take pride in their environment and we want this to have a ripple effect and for more people to be encouraged to get involved.
Equipment available includes litter pickers, bags, bag hoops, high vis vests, protective gloves and a how to guide.
