Rivercare, the annual Embankment community clean-up, is returning this Spring and everyone is invited to take part.
The event takes place from 10am – noon on Saturday, 21 March and after registering, you just need to turn up – all equipment is provided*.
Bedford Scuba Divers and Dive with Jimmy will have divers pulling out waste from the river, alongside Viking Kayak Club members and the Environment Agency, who will be picking up surface rubbish.
Once again, the John Bunyan Boat will be moored up on the lower river, providing refreshments and a place to rest to all taking part. The Longholme are also offering volunteers a warm drink to keep spirits up enroute.
The whole day is the perfect way to feel part of the community and make a difference to our town. To take part, you can register by emailing volunteering@bedford.gov.uk.
*If you are an existing community champion and have your own litter picking equipment, please bring it with you.
