This year's Tidy Wales Week is fast approaching and Keep Wales Tidy is urging communities to take part in the week-long event, which will be taking place from June 23-29. The idea is to get as many people as possible to take responsibility for their local environment by getting involved in a clean-up. You can organise your own event or join one that is taking place in your locality. To assist groups, Keep Wales Tidy has produced 1,000 free clean-up kits, sponsored by the Welsh Assembly Government. The kits are available to anyone who wants to take part and organise an event as part of the week. The kits will be allocated on a first-come first- served basis - so make sure you order your kit today! The kits contain information on how to organise and carry out a successful clean-up, including: posters - to advertise your event; tabards - to keep you clean and tidy; promotional items - pens, pencils, keyrings and badges; local authority contacts - to aid in providing bags, gloves etc; and an information booklet - to help you organise a busy, fun and safe clean up event, with hints and tips on getting others involved and gaining local publicity. To order your free clean-up kit, please call 02920 72 6962, email [email protected]">[email protected] or visit the website http://www.keepwalestidy.org">www.keepwalestidy.org.
