Week Round Up Pt1. An amazing time spent helping keep our local riverbank clean & litter free. Was an absolute pleasure to be able to provide the fantastic @IrvineBeach with some halloween themed goodies from @coopuk for the children who attend their litter picks! #ItsWhatWeDo ๐ฎ
This morning was all about stopping litter for ending up in the river and rescuing trollies that were already at risk of floating away.
10 volunteers, 13 bags and some other rubbish that is no longer a threat to the river Irvine. ๐๐๐
