Find out how you can volunteer with Tidy Up Team to support environmental improvement tasks around the city.
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.
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.
To become a Tidy Up Team volunteer you have to go to a short training and induction session. The training tells you how the scheme works and covers health and safety information. Volunteers are covered by the council's liability insurance.
To volunteer as a Tidy Up Team member you'll need to be:
at least 18 years old
reasonably fit and mobile
able to use tools requiring two hands
live or work in Brighton & Hove
