🌿 Fleetwood Wombles litter pick update

Saturday morning wasn't looking particularly promising, with heavy rain around 9am threatening to put a stop to things before we'd even started. Thankfully, the weather eased off and we seemed to catch a brief calm between Storm Austen and Storm Boelo!

Four volunteers headed out around Park ward, clearing 12 bags of litter in about an hour. A big thank you to everyone who came along despite the unpredictable weather. It's great to see people turning out, getting stuck in and making a difference to the area.

Looking ahead, there's plenty happening around Fleetwood over the next couple of weekends.

This Saturday, 31st October, it's the monthly Fleetwood Beach Care clean-up organised by The Bay: A Blueprint for Recovery, from 10:30am to 12 noon. If you're free, why not head along and give them a hand looking after our coastline?

It's also the day of Friends of Fleetwood Memorial Park's free pumpkin carving event. We'll share their poster in the comments for anyone who'd like to find out more. 🎃

Our next Fleetwood Wombles Community Litter Pick - Birch Street will be on Saturday 7th November, meeting on Birch Street. We'll be tidying up the park around the Cenotaph and clearing parts of the Remembrance Sunday parade route ahead of Remembrance Sunday on 8th November.

Thanks again to everyone who came along on Saturday, and to all those who continue to give their time to help keep Fleetwood looking its best.

Is there an area of Fleetwood you'd particularly like to see us tackle in a future litter pick? Let us know in the comments. 👇

🌿 A busy Saturday for Fleetwood Wombles!

Yesterday, 12 volunteers joined us for a litter pick around Pharos ward, collecting 17 bags of litter and helping make a difference to our local surroundings.

A big thank you to everyone who came along, including volunteers from The Bay: A Blueprint for Recovery and Layla from Fleetwood Asda's Community Team. It was great to have you with us!

We also had a table at the Fleetwood Volunteers Fayre, where we enjoyed some great conversations with visitors and other local organisations. Among other things, this included raising awareness of Keep Britain Tidy's Fight Fly-tipping Fortnight, with support from our local Litter Heroes Ambassador, Matt Verity.

Thank you to Healthier Fleetwood and Fleetwood Rotary for hosting the fayre and bringing local groups together, and to everyone who stopped by our table.

For us, it's about more than picking up litter. It's about the people as much as the place, building connections and encouraging more people to play a part in looking after Fleetwood.

Our next litter pick: Saturday 24th October - Community Litter Pick - Lindel Road

We'll be meeting at 10am on Lindel Road in Park ward (near One Stop). Everyone's welcome, equipment is provided, and you can stay for as long as suits you. Come along for some fresh air, good company and the chance to make a visible difference.

Another opportunity to get involved

The Bay are also organising a community clean-up around Jubilee Quay next Saturday afternoon, as part of their work with Our Future Coast. The programme encourages community involvement in exploring how we can work with nature to create a more resilient coastline.

It's great to see different groups helping to care for Fleetwood and our coastline. If you'd like to get involved, we'd love to see you at a litter pick!

We'll be at the Fleetwood Volunteers Fayre this Saturday, 17th October, from 11am to 2pm at Emmanuel Church Fleetwood.

It's a great opportunity to discover local groups, meet people and find out how you can get involved in your community.

Come and have a chat with Fleetwood Wombles about our litter picks and what we're doing around the town. We're always happy to welcome new people along to help out, but we're also keen to hear from people with ideas, enthusiasm and a desire to help grow the community we're building around looking after Fleetwood.

The fayre is organised by Healthier Fleetwood and Fleetwood Rotary, bringing local groups together to showcase the different ways people can get involved.

We're meeting at 10am for a litter pick on Mount Road, opposite the fayre venue, so why not join us for a pick before heading over to see what's on offer? 🌿

❌️ Tomorrow's litter pick is cancelled

Unfortunately, due to the strong winds forecast for tomorrow, we've decided to cancel our World Mental Health Day litter pick at The Mount. The conditions aren't looking suitable for litter picking, so we'll have to leave this one for another time.

Thanks to everyone who was planning to join us, and sorry for the short notice.

Our next litter pick will be on Saturday 17 October, meeting at 10am on Mount Road, opposite Emmanuel at The Mount, ahead of the Fleetwood Volunteers Fayre taking place at the church hall later that morning.

Hopefully we'll see you there!

🌿 A quick update about tomorrow's litter pick

The forecast is still looking a little unsettled for tomorrow, with fairly strong winds and a chance of rain, so we're keeping an eye on conditions.

We're planning to meet at 10am at The Mount, near the gate lodge on Mount Road, as advertised, but we may need to play things by ear depending on what the weather is doing.

If conditions are suitable, we'll get on with the litter pick as planned. If the wind makes things difficult, we can take a more relaxed approach, have a wander around the Mount and a chat, or perhaps find somewhere nearby to grab a brew instead.

As this session is about getting outdoors together for World Mental Health Day as much as it is about litter picking, there's still value in meeting up even if we have to change our plans.

Bring a coat, keep an eye on this page for any further updates, and hopefully we'll see you tomorrow!
