Community Litter Pick
Did you know that 39% of Scots believe that litter has become more common locally over the last 12 months?
We want to change that so we’re supporting Keep Scotland Beautiful’s #SpringCleanScotland.
We are looking for volunteers and will be meeting at the CHaT Hub, 4 Brown Street, Newmilns at 10 am on Saturday 27th April.
Five community groups - Newmilns Community Council, Newmilns & Greenholm Amateur Football Club, Townhead TARA, Gilfoot TARA and Newmilns Regeneration Association will be taking part - each group has a designated area they will be working on.
For more information get in touch with your local group or email hello@lovenewmilns.org.
We look forward to welcoming as many volunteers as possible.
