The Nunsthorpe Big Spring Clean

We’re thrilled to announce that, after listening to your feedback from the Nunsthorpe area, on Tuesday 8th April, we will be hosting a skip clean-up event with the support of various LHP partners!

What’s Happening?

With the backing of Oasis Community Space, Eon, Thrift Energy Group, Nunny’s Farm, The Bathroom Village, NELC Fostering Friendly, local ward councillors, Ongo and Holistic Fire Solutions, 11 skip sites will be provided in key locations affected by fly-tipping. You’re welcome to use the opportunity as a chance to dispose of any unwanted items, right on the doorstep of your homes! LHP colleagues will also be attending the event to give a helping hand, should anyone need it.

As well as the spring clean, we will also be running a number of activities for the community to get involved with, including:

• Children’s Colouring Competition – Children and young people can design posters in two categories: “Keep Our Community Clean” and “No Fly-Tipping.” The top four winners from each category will have their designs made into plaques and displayed in the neighbourhood!
• Bike Recycling with Re-volution – If you bring any bikes or bike parts to the skip sites, these will be upcycled into working bikes, so the community can use them for both work and school transport.
• Litter Pick & Easter Egg Reward – We’re encouraging you to collect a bag of litter and bring it to a skip site. In return, you’ll receive a token, which can be exchanged for an Easter egg at Oasis Community Space! St Marks and St Martins Church Eco Group will also be out on the day helping with the litter pick.
• Help for those in need – If you’re unable to access the skips due to disability, Frank Sparkes, the North Wall Cleaner, will be taking referrals ahead of the event. If you would like to take advantage of this, please speak to any LHP colleague and they will be able to arrange.

We hope to see as many of you as possible at the event, in what promises to be an exciting spring clean-up!
