Many ways to help clean and green London

What does it involve?

Volunteers can take part in or organise their own clean-up and environmental improvement events across the capital. This can include: litter picking, rubbish removal, habitat restoration, river and canal clean-ups, community planting, graffiti removal, tackling overgrown landscaping and many other activities.

What difference will you make?

Volunteers for the Capital Clean-Up will make substantial environemntal improvements in their local areas, transforming underused and neglected spaces into areas that people are proud of! We also find that clean-up events often bring together people to create new friendships and a renewed sense of community spirit.
