From High Street to Riverside: How a Saturday Litter Pick Sparked New Friendships

#Neighbourhoods
What began as a simple call for volunteers turned into a lively morning of teamwork, tea, and talk. Residents shared tips on recycling, swapped garden cuttings, and mapped out ideas for a monthly “clean & chat” to keep the river path welcoming year-round.
“I met three neighbours I’d only ever waved to. Now we exchange plant cuttings every month.” — Rosa, Redhill
“Submitting a story was easy — and our street quiz night doubled in size!” — Ian, Tonbridge
