Playbusters sign up as Neighbourhood Improvement Volunteers
Playbusters have a well established link with the Clean Glasgow Programme, working successfully together since September 2009 and are looking forward to continuing the good work and expanding into other areas in 2010.
Children and adult volunteers were given the opportunity to become ‘Neighbourhood Improvement Volunteers’ and partake in clean up events with Glasgow Community Safety Services and Playbusters staff on a regular basis. The children were asked to identify which areas they wanted to clean up and undertook monitoring of environmental issues as they worked. This not only aids the Clean Glasgow Campaign but helps the children gain a better understanding of their local environment by instigating pride in their local community.
