Schools & Youth 

Schools, colleges, education providers or youth groups can all get involved in litter picking in their nearby area in several ways, and we’re here to support every step! 

 

We offer loan kits stocked with everything needed for a successful litter pick, including bag hoops, gloves, and high-vis vests. These kits are available at various community hubs across the borough, and you can find your nearest hub here.

​

We also encourage schools to join the Great British Spring Clean campaign, a fantastic national initiative that takes place every year. It’s a great way to get students engaged in their local environment while being part of a larger movement across the UK.

​

For schools looking to connect more locally, there are community litter-picking groups across Solihull. Schools can network with these groups, which is an excellent way to join forces, share tips, and work together. You can find local litter-picking groups listed here.

​

Additionally, parents and guardians can register their children as part of the Love Solihull volunteer team. This is a great opportunity for students to stay involved outside of school hours, giving them a sense of ownership and pride in maintaining their community.

Scouts & Girl guiding 

​

We can support your scout or girl guiding group (any section) with activities such as litter picking, which could count towards members achieving certain badges or awards, whilst helping make a difference in the local community.

​

Please see our Loan Litter Picking Kit page for more information about where you can obtain litter picking equipment to support your group with this.
