Volunteers will gather to clean up Ladywell Park in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, during a two-hour tidy up event on February 28, 2026, to help maintain the local green space. The event is being organised by the Wellingborough ECO Group and Wellingborough Town Council to encourage people to look after their community.
The session starts at 10:00 and runs until 12:00, with all necessary equipment like litter pickers, bags, and high-visibility vests provided for those who attend. This activity is part of a regular series of monthly events that began in 2019 to improve parks and streets across the town.
The volunteer team, known as the Wellie Wombles, has already collected more than 10,000 bags of rubbish since the group was first formed. Organisers say these short sessions are a good way for residents to meet their neighbours and support the environment near the railway station and the Ladywell Allotments.
Any waste collected during the morning will be reported to the local council so it can be taken away for proper disposal. People who want to help should meet at the park to receive a short safety briefing before they start working in teams to clear the area.
