The Great Litter Picking Challenge, 6 June 2020
We support children suffering from cancer to improve their life chances

Story

We have decided to do a sponsored litter pick and we pledge to collect at least 50 bags of litter between us from the countryside before the end of the year.  All we are hoping for is a couple of quid donation to show your support. 

Our reasons are to help clean up the environment and save wildlife, but also to raise money for the Chernobyl children’s project UK.  This effort means that not only does the UK benefit from our clean up, and less hedgehogs, mice, voles, birds etc will die trapped in litter, but also we can help children suffering from severe disabilities and cancer due to the contamination still present from the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. 

We will physically do the litter picking ourselves as well as also arranging work parties for anyone that would like to join in the clean up and help us reach the target. If we get help we hope to thoroughly smash the 50 sack aim and clear much more!

If you are kind enough to donate, please leave your name so we can thank you!
