Volunteers wanted to help spruce up Scarborough
Residents are being invited to roll up their sleeves and help give Scarborough a spring clean during a community action day later this month.
The “Sprucing Up Scarborough” event will take place on Friday, August 21, from 10am-12pm, with volunteers joining forces for litter picking, gardening and painting projects aimed at giving the town a freshen-up.
Litter pickers will meet at Tesco Westwood, while gardening and painting volunteers will gather at Crescent Gardens.
Equipment including litter pickers, gloves and garden tools will be provided, so participants just need to turn up ready to get stuck in.
Organisers say the event is about bringing people together and taking pride in the local area.
And after the hard work, volunteers will be rewarded with a free lunch.
Anyone interested in taking part is asked to register by emailing [email protected].
The organisers' message is simple: “Let’s work together to spruce up Scarborough!”
