The Great British Spring Clean, organised by the Keep Britain Tidy charity, is the UK’s largest mass-action environmental campaign, bringing together individuals, communities and organisations to improve local environments.
As part of the campaign, Sunbelt initially pledged to collect 100 bags of litter. Working in partnership with assorted organisations and external volunteers to take part in clean-up activities between 16–29 March, activities took place across multiple locations from Warrington to Dundee including community spaces, green areas and locations surrounding their depots.
Some 79 Sunbelt teammates participated, collecting 256 bags of litter, exceeding its original pledge and helping to create cleaner, safer spaces for the communities they serve.
“It’s been incredibly inspiring to see so many of our teammates roll up their sleeves and take on this challenge. Supporting our local communities and helping to keep shared spaces clean and safe for everyone to enjoy is something we’re really proud of," explained Social Sustainability Manager Lisa Kennedy.
"We set ourselves an ambitious target of collecting 100 bags of litter, and while I wasn’t certain we’d reach it, the team has absolutely surpassed expectations. The enthusiasm and commitment shown has been fantastic, and I’m excited to see how this initiative can grow even further next year.”
One of the initiatives took place in Dundee, where Sunbelt supported a litter pick with St Fergus Primary School and donated 16 litter pickers, 24 pairs of gloves, eight litter hoops and 25 high-visibility vests to help pupils continue caring for their local environment.
