We had 16 amazing volunteers join us — including 6 first-timers 💚 — and it was fantastic to see so many new faces getting involved.
A big shoutout to Balham Climate Action for joining us and bringing some extra energy with a fun challenge: who could collect the most litter in just 20 minutes! 🗑️
The results? Plenty of bags filled, lots of laughs, and a real impact on our local area 🌍✨
