Call for help to clean Darlington
With the start of the Great British September Clean a few days ago, tens of volunteers have been doing their bit to keep the town tidy.
Our partner, Darlington Support, organised a number of litter-picking activities. In addition, volunteers from Darlington Support helped other groups keep Darlington clean.
DFC Matchday Events Manager, Joanne Cameron, said: “I thoroughly enjoyed litter-picking in one of our local parks in Darlington over the weekend. It is a satisfying and fulfilling experience to see the impact one makes by spending some time keeping our green spaces clean and making a positive contribution to the community.”
Darlington Support founders Kimberley Scott and George Jabbour added: “If you have not yet had the chance to do any litter-picking this month, it is not too late. As Joanne said, it is a wonderful and pleasant activity, so if you have an hour or two and would like to join one of the upcoming events below over the next two weeks, please email volunteers@darlingtonsupport.uk”
