We changed it up last night and combined litter picking with creating a scarecrow for the Dashwood Manor Care Home scarecrow competition!

This was an opportunity to show off the great work that we do as a team so we wanted to emphases the litter picking we have done by accessorising with litter found on the day.

We split into two groups, Sammi who brought a lot of the materials for the scarecrow and Evelyn who brought all the newspaper to use as filling worked together to build the base of the scarecrow.

Meanwhile Christine who had come equipped with some great litter found throughout the week, Yazid, Tazmin and I went out litter picking to find litter to add. We were very successful finding lots of bottles, a belt, plenty of small bits and topped off with a purse!

Then we all came together and had the process of naming our gorgeous scarecrow, after some great suggestions we landed on Na-Trash-A. To end the night we ate the delicious brownies baked by Tazmin and Yazid had a little dance with Na-Trash-A.

Can't wait to win first prize tomorrow!

We had an incredible time assisting Natural Basingstoke with this!

I think we have a new contender for weirdest bit of litter that we have found in our time here in Basingstoke with a whole number plate!

We had a great time litter picking last night, it was beautiful weather for it and the vibes were high. Lily & Sam joined for their first session and got straight into the swing of it fitting in really easily.

As always Sammi, Yazid & Tazmin were in great form providing plenty of laughs.

In all we collected 4 full bags of litter around the Queens Mary area, we also found some delicious plums which I enjoyed!
