Since 1918 at every general election more men have been elected than women. @CentenaryAction's graph shows that whilst progress has been made & we now have 263 women MPs we still need 62 more for a #GenderEqualParliament #AskHerToStand

🫶 Community spirit at its best! @MargateWi raised £820 for The Garden Gate Project through a pop-up dinner. With the help of local businesses, they created a seasonal feast that supports mental health and disability initiatives. 🍂🌱

Our members had a brilliant time taking part in the #MostWutheringHeightsDayEver at @theovalct9 in #Margate today. Lovely to hear it raised over £2k for good causes including @OasisDAService.

For our April meeting, the @community_lifesavers taught us how to use a defibrillator and CPR skills.
This brilliant group of volunteers give their time to teach people of all ages.
Thank you for an amazing meeting. 🫶🫶🫶

@KeepBritainTidy We are doing the pledge and as part of that, yesterday spent 70 minutes picking up rubbish in Westbrook.
We filled 24 bags!

[MargateWI @MargateWi]

Join our members and help @KeepBritainTidy mark their 70th birthday in 2024 by making a pledge to take part in the #GBSpringClean. We have taken the #PlatinumPledge to spend at least 70 mins litter picking & aim to fill 50 bags. Wish us luck!

[Keep Britain Tidy @KeepBritainTidy]

You don’t need to wear a cape to be a #LitterHero! All you need to get started is a pair of gloves, a litter-picker, and a desire to improve the environment on your doorstep.

Start your #GBSpringClean journey. Sign up at https://t.co/mnTPcMkc7D

[Keep Britain Tidy @KeepBritainTidy]

It's go time for the #GBSpringClean!

#LitterHeroes, community groups and businesses big and small are coming together to love where they live.

This year's campaign runs until 31 March. Make your #BigBagPledge at https://t.co/mnTPcMkc7D

[Keep Britain Tidy @KeepBritainTidy]

An estimated 26 million tons of plastic ends up in the ocean each year. Beach cleans are a way to protect sea life and help to make our oceans plastic-free.

Take action to protect the environment on your doorstep. Pledge to join the #GBSpringClean today: https://t.co/yieqaaLP2O

Our litter campaign here in #Margate was inspired by the original WI group! @KeepBritainTidy

2024 marks 70 years since the @WomensInstitute passed a resolution to #KeepBritainTidy.

On #InternationalWomensDay, our own @AOgdenNewton OBE explains how we're carrying on the legacy of those original #LitterHeroes.
