Monday Motivation #ActiveLockleaze Project - Litterpicking

As part of our partnership project #ActiveLockleaze we like to feature regular posts for our Monday Motivation or Spotlight On section.

This is just one of the ways we promote physical activities and sports opportunities in Lockleaze. By sharing providers and participants & personal stories we aim to inspire and motivate and encourage all residents to lead more active lives.

This week we focus on Young People Litter Pickers - November Update

Here is the first update from the 5 amazing young people who are litter picking in Lockleaze as part of their community volunteering towards their Duke of Edinburgh Awards. They started in November and are out and about each Saturday afternoon until March, aiming to complete 14 litter picks.

• The first session they collected 5 bags, weighing 18 kg and clocked up almost 5000 steps between them!

• The second session they collected 5 bags, weighing 23 kg and walked 4000 steps.

• The third session they collected 5 bags, weighing a total of 14.14 kg and recorded 3.500 steps between the five of them!

They have really made a difference and Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust are pleased to support them taking positive action to help keep Lockleaze tidy.

Well done everyone!
