On Tuesday evening, four of us (Hasna, Louise, James and Jo) braved the harsh rains and collected 4 bags of rubbish from the tow path alongside the Grand Union Canal in Warwick and Leamington. Amazing what people throw away - intentionally and unintentially. And doubley amazing how nimble those litter picking sticks are! Who knew?
Shouts of thanks from runners and rowers made it all worthwhile, even if we were a little damp at the end! And Tim Winnett (Canal & River Trust. Volunteering team leader for Hatton & Warwick) extends his warm thanks to the team for clearing that stretch of the canal.
Well done guys (just missing Hasna from the snap)!
We're the charity who look after and bring to life 2,000 miles of waterways, because we believe that life is better by water. Our research shows that spending time by water, whether it be your lunchbreak, daily commute or just a weekend stroll, really can make us feel happier and healthier.
