HIVE Portsmouth and the Baffins Pond Association are calling on residents to join a community litter pick at Baffins Pond on Saturday 18 July 2026 from 10am to 12noon. Volunteers will gather at the Baffins Pond Association premises on Tangier Road, with all equipment provided on the day.
The environmental charity, which is run entirely by volunteers, will supply litter pickers, bags and gloves. Organisers recycle as much of the collected waste as possible, including bottles, cans and plastic, with the remainder disposed of as general rubbish. No prior experience is required, and families are welcome to take part provided children under 16 are accompanied by an adult.
New volunteers are encouraged to attend and need only turn up with a willingness to get involved and follow instructions on the day. The Baffins Pond Association works closely with Portsmouth City Council to maintain the pond and its surroundings, giving residents a chance to contribute directly to their local environment.
