We would like to sincerely apologise for the last‑minute cancellation of the Easter climbing walls. We understand how disappointing this is for the children and families who were looking forward to the activity.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of our control, we were unable to go ahead as planned. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we are working to rearrange alternative activities where possible.

Thank you for your continued support, and once again, we are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Job satisfaction: 10/10 💚
Making our community cleaner, greener and proud—one litter pick at a time!

Thank you Litter Watch for a wonderful morning, working together and making a difference.

We would love for you to get involved next time, keep a look at for dates and locations 💚
