Do you live near Victoria Park? If so then why not pop along on Sunday and lend a hand to help clear up the park.
We will be running a community clean up of the park in partnership with Friends of Victoria Park (check out their great new website!) and Glasgow Community Safety Services.
The event is part of the National Spring Clean a 2 month long campaign aimed at getting people involved in community clean ups the length and breadth of Scotland.
There will be two clean ups happening – the first is from 11am to 1pm and the second is from 2pm to 4pm. We will be meeting at the toilets near the pond in the park. Please dress appropriately and don’t forget to bring something to drink and some sun tan lotion as it looks like the weather is going to be great! All equipment will be provided.
Also Friends of Victoria Park are also organising a celebration event in September for the 125th anniversary of the park opening. Read more here.
Come and help with the community clean up and Kingsway Court high flats! The event will take place from 10am to 2pm on Saturday 26th May. The meeting point outside 30 block. We hope to see you there!
It’s that time of year again as we emerge from the dark and cold of Winter (which has not been too bad this year!) to the green shoots of Spring!
And as the days get longer and the umbrellas and hoods come down you can start to see your environment around you again and sometimes what you see is not as good as it could be!
So what can we do to help tidy the place up a bit? Well one option is to get involved with Keep Scotland Beautiful’s National Spring Clean campaign.
The campaign, which was re-launched in 2007, has made a significant impact – in 2011:
- a total of 97,237 volunteers – 13,569 more than in 2010 – took part in 1,538 events across Scotland between 14 March and 16 May.
- using litter pickers and gloved hands, each person collected on average one and a half black bags of waste – that’s equivalent to 90 double decker buses or enough to fill 145,855 street litter bins.
This year the campaign runs for two months from 1 April to 31 May so there’s plenty of time to get invovled.
DRCET are keen to work with other local organisations in Yoker, Scotstoun, Whiteinch and beyond to help organise clean ups across the community. If you are interested in working with us please contact the office on 0141 433 0427.
