We held a litter pick on 18 May for part of A Million Acts of Hope Week.<\/p>\n

Volunteers from the community and local organisations and groups joined us at Tyne Green County Park for this fun and purposeful event, resulting in three large bags of rubbish being collected from the area!<\/p>\n

A Million Acts of Hope<\/strong><\/a> is a national campaign which celebrates everyday acts of kindness and connection happening across the UK. Most people want to live in strong, healthy, caring communities where everyone feels they belong. A Million Acts of Hope is about making that visible and bringing people from all backgrounds, and all walks of life, together.<\/p>\n

After the litter pick, volunteers returned to our Community Hub for tea and cake, and to dry off after the downpour we found ourselves in whilst out at the park!<\/p>\n

Hub Coordinator Lorna Beech said: \u201cWe\u2019ve been really happy to partner with A Million Acts of Hope and all of the other local and national organisations that have signed up to this initiative. Our Community Hub is all about connection, support and bringing hope and positivity to local people. The litter pick was a great way to make a small difference to our shared spaces and give people a chance to come together to play a part in making that difference.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A big thank you to everyone who volunteered to help with the litter pick. We think you\u2019re amazing!<\/p>\n
