The rain held off for us to join Lemon and Jinji, the refill store, on their monthly litter pick. We welcomed Claire for her first face to face session and hope to see her again soon. Endless crisp packets, cans and vapes were found plus some huge canisters and even a beer keg! Our youngest litter picker (aged 3) found such a big pile of rubbish it was taller than her. There was so much rubbish around the industrial estate that one of the staff had to go out in a van to collect everything at the end. Great job team - we hope to join Lemon and Jinji again soon - and not just because there was discounted coffee and cake for litter pickers!

Disclaimer: There were a lot of other people litter picking too so we can’t tell all the credit for the massive pile!
