Care for your local neighbourhood?
Become a Street Champion!
Street Champions improve an area by looking after the environment and encouraging neighbours and friends to be more concerned about litter. So why not help make Southend a better place for all?
What does being a Street Champion involve?
There is no formal commitment in becoming a Street Champion volunteer: you can give as much or as little time as you like, either in a group or on your own. It could be 15 minutes when walking the dog or on your way to work, a Saturday morning once a month with some friends or any time you get the urge to make a difference in your community.
What are the benefits of becoming a Street Champion?
- Satisfaction at seeing your area clear of litter
- Taking part in positive actions to improve your local environment
- Being linked to a community of like-minded and environmentally-conscious people
- Helping to encourage responsible behaviour around litter
- Helping to prevent plastics entering the wider environment and potentially polluting our sea
What will I get?
You will be provided with a welcome kit that includes a litter picker, gloves, sacks, bag hoop, high-viz jacket, a window sticker plus any additional equipment you might need to carry out your role. Our team will also give you training and support.
