Litter pick
Litter picking walk

Join Beat the Street and help keep Hendon clean and green. Our volunteer litter-picking sessions run every Monday morning, focusing on a different local area each week. Meet at Hendon Library (Villette Road), where you’ll be provided with everything you need including Back on the Map hi-vis jackets, pickers, bags, and rings. Then it’s out on the streets with our friendly Street Ranger, Cameron, making a real difference together.

Location: Hendon Library, Villette Road
Time: Mondays, 10:00am–12:00pm

We’ll head out together and return to the library afterwards for a well-earned coffee and a friendly catch-up. Let’s see how much litter we can collect and how many Beat Boxes we can tap along the way. The walk is open to all abilities, with double points on Box 13 for participants. Everyone is welcome, so just come along and get involved!
