Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Lyla, I am 9 years old and after learning about the effects of plastic waste on our oceans at school, I decided I wanted to help to make a change.

My Mummy, brother Toby and I spoke about plastic on a walk along our local canal and we were so sad by the amount of rubbish in the water. I spoke about how this affects the animals, fish and us and things I can do to make sure my family reduces waste. This is where my mission started: picking some rubbish up at the canal! 

I have decided (all by myself!) to do a sponsored litter pick for the whole month of June (3/6/21-3/7/21) and try to raise as much money as I can for my chosen charities “Sea Shepherd” which is a charity which focuses on protecting, defending and conserving our oceans and “Chichester Ship Canal Trust” which helps maintain and preserve my local canal - which is where my family loves to walk.

I have my litter pickers, gloves and eco-friendly rubbish sacks all ready and I’m finding so many drink cans and sweet wrappers already! 

I would be so happy if you could help support my mission by donating to one of my teams of charities. Many of my friends are going to join me to make my mission fun and so we can clear as much rubbish as possible. 

Lots of litter picking love
