PUBLIC-spirited pupils from Coventry’s Eden Girls’ School are cleaning up their local area as part of a new litter-picking project.

The campaign urges people to take care of their local area by organising rubbish collections and, in the process, create safe, clean spaces for the entire community to enjoy.




Anand Patel, Principal of Eden Girls’ School, Coventry, praised the team for said: “The pupils involved had a very enjoyable day and were pleased to see how their efforts helped to make a real difference.

“As a school that sits at the very heart of our local community, we are always keen to contribute to initiatives that help to improve our environment and the lives of local people.”


She added she hoped the school would continue with regular litter-picks and said everyone was looking forward to clearing up more areas in the near future.
