This Spring, along with Darenth Parish Council and the Community Litter Pickers, join Keep Britain Tidy as the Great British Spring Clean returns!

As we embark on this special campaign in 2026, our mission has never been more important. Our environment and wildlife face grave and ongoing threats from the impact of litter. So we’re encouraging everyone to grab a litter-picker.

Whether you’re a community group or individuals we’re calling on you to join us and take action to protect the streets, neighbourhoods, parks, and coasts around us, making them places to be proud of.

Since the movement began in 2016, millions of Litter Heroes have pulled on their gloves, grabbed their litter-pickers, and pledged to pick up more than four and a half million bags of rubbish.

88% of participants felt they were part of a national movement, taking action to tackle litter
81% of participants agreed that taking part helped to improve their mood.
95% of participants felt they made a difference to their local area.

When we all join forces and show we love where we live, the difference we can make is huge, instilling a sense of pride across communities, their desire to live in clean and attractive places and actively contribute to transforming, enhancing and maintaining our streets, parks, coastline waterways and countryside.

Please visit keepbritaintidy.org from 13 February to make your pledge.
