Another fantastic litter pick this afternoon! Thank you so much to those that came along and everyone who stopped for a chat, gave us a wave and thumbs up! 🥳

It’s not perfect, but 33 bags, around 20 nitrous oxide canisters and other rubbish are now ready for collection 👏🏼

I’ve litter picked this area alongside others on a regular basis, but I’ve never seen it this bad and it’s evident some waste is originating from pupils - Co-op Academy Manchester, Co-op, Manchester City Council what can we do to help this area? 😬

Keep an eye on Blackley Litter Pickers & my page for more litter picking events 😃

This Hate Crime Awareness Week, MCC is taking a stand against hate

Hate crime can have a devastating effect on someone’s life; acts of violence or hostility directed at people because of who they are or who someone thinks they are, based on characteristics like disability, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, gender identity, or belonging to an alternative sub-culture.

Greater Manchester is a place where we all look out for each other, stick up for one another and stand together. It's a place where everyone is free to be themselves. Hate crime has no place here.

We all have a right to live without fear and intimidation from others because of who we are. If you've been the victim of a hate crime, or witnessed one, please join us in taking a stand against hate by reporting it.

How can I report a hate crime?

If you've experienced or witnessed a hate crime, help and support is available. If it's an emergency, you should always call 999. But there are other ways to report a hate crime:

• Call Greater Manchester Police on 101
• Call Manchester City Council on 0161 234 4612 or report it online
• Report it to True Vision
• Visit a third party reporting centre. Third party reporting centres offer anonymous advice and support, and are not connected to the police.

The Be Proud Awards celebrate Manchester's many volunteers and the unsung heroes who make our city great.

The awards are the perfect way to thank the extraordinary individuals and groups for their hard work in helping others.

We know that these individuals and groups make a real difference in our communities; we also know that some don't even realise how much good they do.

Yet they help to improve our neighbourhoods, and the Be Proud Awards give you the chance to show them how much you appreciate their efforts by nominating them.

Finalists will be celebrated at a gala dinner and awards ceremony at the Hilton Hotel in June 2025.

Nominate here: https://surveys.manchester.gov.uk/s/SQWMXS/

If you would like to nominate in a different way, for example by submitting a video or filling out a paper form, please email: [email protected]

I was very grateful of the invite to the Clean & Green Awards Ceremony held today at the Irish World Heritage Centre ☘️

Manchester City Council set out their priorities for the year ahead, but more importantly, it was a fantastic opportunity to network with others to help improve our fantastic city through litter picking and volunteering! 💪🏼

Thank you so much to all those who volunteer their time! 👏

Antje Timmermann delivered a fantastic presentation on behalf of Bee safe Manchester to help the community stay safe. I loved hearing the ‘Broken Window Theory’ - temptation to act antisocially increases when the environment suggests it is ok to break the rules. If we all made a conscious effort to improve our area, would this encourage others to follow suit? 🤔

A massive thank you to Dot Keller for contributing 25 years to The Friends of Blackley Forest. I have some fond memories of the bat walks you helped organise when I was a child. As sad as I am to hear that you’re stepping down as chair, you should be very proud of your achievements! Congratulations! 🥳

Keep your eyes peeled for events like the Big Spring Clean and the Great Big School Clean later this year!
