Thank you to everyone that came and joined in with the first (of hopefully of many) March RiverCare group meetings. We saw Volunteers from Getting It Sorted Volunteers, Streetpride and Rivercare come together to clear litter from the River Nene in March. 

The volunteers were praised by locals, and The Ship Inn even donated a much deserved coffee to each of the volunteers who helped make March a greener, safer place for all. Collecting a whopping 15 kg in sacks of litter bags, with half being recycled and a load of scrap metal that was too heavy for our scales! 

The most interesting items included a clay pipe and a carpark barrier! 

"I volunteered even though I live in Wisbech because I wanted to meet other like-minded people and share in a meaningful volunteer project that will benefit not only us but the wildlife too" Getting it Sorted Volunteer Alexia Franklin.
