The Big Help Out
Cobham Heritage Trust, like other community organisations throughout Surrey, has organised litter picks on a monthly basis for a number of years. But littering is getting worse and, post Covid, finding volunteers has become more difficult. So the Trust decided to use ’The Big Help Out’ to reinvigorate litter-picking in Cobham and to make this improvement sustainable.
On the ‘Day’ there were over seventy litter-pickers picking up litter from all around Cobham village. In all between 100 and 110 bags of litter were collected. More importantly, there is now a much bigger pool of litter-pick volunteers from across the community which should swell monthly litter-pick numbers by at least threefold, and everyone other than litter louts will be better off!
