Love Parks Week is back and it’s taking place from today, 29 July to 5 August, giving people across the country the chance to shout about their wonderful green spaces.
Whether it’s walking the dog, picnicking with friends, or pushing our little ones on a playground swing, our parks give our communities, our children, and our pets a vital space to play, grow, and bond.
Love Parks Week is set up to celebrate and support the efforts of volunteers and workers up and down the country to maintain and protect our green spaces.
It provides a week of action for parks to run events in their local area and we’re taking action by litter picking Hemmingwell Park tomorrow 10-12!
We will be setting up our Recycling Station outside Hemmingwell Community & Skills Centre from 9:30, for litter picking between 10 and 12. We will be litter picking the park and the surrounding streets.
As a group we have tidied up this area before, but unfortunately due to some messy people there’s a lot to do. And as a real bonus Hemmingwell Community and Skills Centre will be serving us tea and coffee!
To help us and keep us safe at this and future litter picks, Wellingborough Eco Group have purchased some litter pickers, hi-vis vests and safety equipment including road signs, so everything is provided but please bring your own gloves if you can. Hand sanitiser will be available, join in, bring your friends and family, ALL WELCOME!
