Littering

Cambridgeshire Community Clean-Up

Support for community organisations to hold litter-picking events.

A new community project to improve the quality of the local environment offers grants of between £100 and £200 to small (less than £30,000 annual income) voluntary and community groups in Cambridgeshire who want to arrange a litter pick.

We are working together with Cambridgeshire Community Foundation to support a series of litter picking events across the county.

Organisations that want to use this opportunity to clear up their local area are invited to visit the Cambridgeshire Community Foundation website to submit a simple online application form, or call 01223 410535 to request a hard copy and for any further information.

Friends of Holt Island Nature Reserve

The Friends of Holt Island Nature Reserve first River Litter Pick attracted more attention than organizer Ian Jackson had bargained for. Divers plumbed the depths under St Ives Bridge and among the impressive haul from the water arose an object that looked vaguely sinister. Sure enough it was quickly identified as a First World War mortar bomb.
