Find out how you can volunteer with Tidy Up Team to support environmental improvement tasks around the city.
What the Tidy Up Team does
The Tidy Up Team works with volunteers, communities, organisations, businesses and schools to improve areas and reduce the well-being issues caused by litter, graffiti, overgrown vegetation and other problems.
They work to create a sense of civic pride which can reduce problems like littering and graffiti.
What Tidy Up Team volunteers do
Tidy Up Team volunteers carry out clean-up activities in all public spaces across the city.
Volunteers are asked to complete at least 15 minutes of clean-up activities each week once trained. We encourage volunteers to do as much as they're able to.
After each litter-picking session, volunteers are asked to complete a simple online form to help with future litter strategies for green spaces.
