Calling all Spring clean heroes

Great British Spring Clean UpOn Friday 3rd March Stone will be joining hundreds of other towns, villages and cities across the UK to take part in the 2017 Great British Spring Clean

As with lots of ideas, the brainchild for this idea came from a single individual in 2015 called Melissa Murdoch.  Melissa had an idea to get people from all walks of life together in cleaning up the rubbish that surrounds us. Together, with Adrian Evans, Keep Britain Tidy, Country Life Magazine and a range of supporting partners the Clean for The Queen campaign inspired 250,000 people to get involved in local clean ups.

In March 2017 they want to inspire 500,000 people to get outdoors, get active and help clear up the rubbish that lies around us and are calling on individuals, community groups, charities, sports clubs, business, local authorities and many more to sign up and take part.

Stone has a great record for “mucking in” as a community, you may remember a bout of graffiti that hit the town in 2012 and the 30 volunteers who rose to the challenge of cleaning it up. https://alittlebitofstone.com/2012/05/06/more-grafitti-bites-the-dust/
