Volunteers from ACT Foundation UK helped clean up Southlake, a popular spot for walkers, dog owners and older residents, as part of the Woodley Adopt a Street Project (WASP).
The group, made up of adults and young people, collected three bags of rubbish during the day.
Moushumi Patankar, ACT Foundation Coordinator, said: “When I, along with our wonderful volunteers, take part in litter picking, I feel deeply grateful that we are adding value to the community of Wokingham.
“WASP trusted us and invited us to adopt Woodland Avenue and Southlake, and since then, we’ve been doing our best to keep both areas clean and tidy.”
He added that people often honk their horns to show their appreciation.
The young volunteers are now planning to continue this several times a fortnight with their friends as part of the Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) programme.
Anyone can join the ‘Adopt a Street’ scheme, to help keep our neighbourhoods green and litter free. Volunteers are provided with a litter pick, bin bags and high-vis vests.
