On Jumuah day and Good Friday volunteers at Darul Ihsan in Barking & Dagenham kick started a monthly litter pick as part of a neighbourhood wide plan to help encourage positive acts of kindness. Six volunteers launched the project and collected six full bags of rubbish during a short walk on Longbridge Road. Positive research from Keep Britain Tidy reveals that more than 8.5 million adults – 16% of the adult population - in the UK participate in litter-picking at least once every six months. The team were joined by Shaikh Yusri Deeb, the Egyptian Imam who is leading Ramadan Taraweeh prayers at Darul Ihsan and Shaikh Md Imran from Darul Ummah Goresbrook. Well done to the volunteers on completing this debut community clean up. It is the month of Ramadan and everyone was fasting, so this is extra special. #litterheroes #keepbritaintidy #jumuahmubarak #goodfriday #thewanderinglondoner #ramadan #ramadan2023 #litterpickers #littercleanup #trashgang #garbagepickers #garbagerun #trashcollection #rubbishclearance #cleanstreets #cleanergreener https://www.instagram.com/p/CqvmCzDNveo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We produce hundreds of millions of tons of plastic every year, most of which cannot be recycled. A huge percentage ends up on our streets and in our parks and rivers.

Jumuah Mubarak! Met Councillor @fmafaruque doing Jumuah rounds and talked him through the @londonenterpriseacademy #littlelitterleague clean ups on the Berner Estate. He intends to join us on a monthly estate litter pick. Makes sense - This is his estate and he’s spent his whole life living and working here. Some areas have been so neglected that they have been surrendered to vermin like rats. Thanks to my mate @bev_drake1 for the litter hoop pressie. #thewanderinglondoner #ramadan #litterheroes #keepbritaintidy (at Berner Estate) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqMDksRoWA2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Research carried out by Keep Britain Tidy reveals a quarter of Britain's streets are strewn with cast off food cartons, drink cans, and pizza boxes. We could also look to work with businesses to minimise litter and waste created from their premises. #littlelitterleague #litterheroes #thewanderinglondoner (at City of Bradford) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpaxZTtIFn_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My itenary for travel has changed to visiting, exploring and litter picking. I’m sure I’m not the only one! A random and enjoyable litter pick in Bradford. #keepbritaintidy #thewanderinglondoner #litterheroes (at City of Bradford) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpawgNpoeSa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today the kids learnt that there are 15 million people around the world who pick garbage in order to survive. The pupils of the London Enterprise Academy take part in a community clean up each week and they have been empowered, trained and developed to become a crucial part of the global No Litter Generation. Our neighbourhoods are lovely places to live, work and visit but unfortunately Councils have to spend resources clearing up littering and fly tipping due to the careless acts of a small minority of people. A small clean up does wonders for a street, road or park. We had renowned Everest mountaineer Aklakur Rahman doing the litter rounds today. What a treat for the kids! #litterheroes #keepbritaintidy #littlelitterleague #thewanderinglondoner #littermates #littergang #trashtag #trashhero #garbagegang #garbageart #recyclers #flytipping #flytip #altabalipark #whitechapel #whitechapelmurders #littering #litteringisforlosers #cleanup #cleanstreets #cleanparks #communitycleanup #communitycleanups #cleaningmotivation #cleancrew #littercrew (at Whitechapel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpNoxReoF7U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
