About this Event

🌍 Litter Picking & Social Walk 🚶‍♀️🗑️

Join us for a meaningful and social walk with a purpose! As we explore the local area together, we’ll pick up litter along the way and even count how many pieces we can collect. It’s a fun and impactful way to give back to the environment, connect with others, and enjoy the outdoors.

This event supports our Rewild the Rubbish project — an initiative to showcase the positive impact we can make by cleaning up the land and raising awareness about how rubbish affects our environment. Every small action counts!


🌱 Perfect for anyone who wants to:
  • Volunteer and give back to the community
  • Support sustainability and environmental action
  • Meet new people while walking in nature
  • Be part of our Rewild the Rubbish project

♻️ What to Expect
  • A relaxed social walk suitable for all levels
  • Litter picking as we walk — equipment will be provided if needed
  • Counting the number of items collected along the way
  • Real-time impact you can see and be proud of

Everyone is welcome — most people come solo and leave with new friends!
Feel free to join our whatsapp group chat to get to know some friendly faces before the event. Join using this link :)


📸 Photos & Social Media

We may take photos to share the project’s impact on our social media. If you'd prefer not to be featured, just let one of our friendly hosts know — it’s absolutely no problem. Your comfort matters to us.

⚠️ Please note: Tickets are limited so if you can no longer attend please let us know.

📍 Location: The starting point will be shown on the event page — please arrive on time so we can begin the walk together.
