💚 Community Spirit Shone Through at The Big Leigh Clean Up 💚
Despite challenging weather conditions, more than 80 volunteers came together for The Big Leigh Clean Up on Friday, delivering an incredible show of community pride and determination. 💪
We knew the weather might put people off, so seeing so many volunteers turn up ready to help was genuinely amazing. It shows how much people care about Leigh and the pride they have in their town. 🫶
it wasn’t just productive, it was a really good day. Lots of laughs, plenty of teamwork, a proper feel-good atmosphere throughout, and a great chance to catch up with local companies and community groups along the way.
Volunteers from Wigan & Leigh Hospice, Leigh Leopards RLFC, City Electrical Factors, Wigan Youth Zone, Express IT Group, Urban Apex Ltd, Struktura Engineering Services, Sanderson Watts Associates Ltd, Leigh Youth Hub, Leigh Sports Village Ltd, Brighter Cleaning Solutions Ltd, The Lowton Creative Company Ltd, Spinning Gate Shopping Centre, Leigh, Structures Pointing Ltd, Structures Group, ADW, The Brick, Boxing for Better and St Joseph's Players collected over 400 bags of rubbish in just a couple of hours!
The event was generously supported by Morrisons, Alex Grundy from G&Teatime, and The Replenishery, who provided water and snacks for volunteers, and we need to say a massive thank you to BuzzBear Design & Marketing's Richard Renda for coming along to give his support and take photos. 🙌
Fininishing at G&Teatime for a well-earned drink (thanks Lloyd!) gave everyone the chance to come together and celebrate what we’d achieved.
📸 Have a look through the photos and tag yourself - we’d love to see everyone who got involved!
Thank you to everyone who got involved, you should be really proud ❤️
