In June 2024 Horsforth Climate Action funded “Graptor the Raptor” litter picking kits for every primary school in Horsforth.
We are now starting to get some feedback and images from the schools of the children using their litter pickers.
Cameron one of the Green Ambassadors from Horsforth Newlaithes Primary school really enjoyed his litter picking weekend and sent some fantastic pictures of him completing his litter pick, and all rubbish he collected.
Horsforth West End Primary School have also been actively using their litter pickers, and have begun to use the compost caddies HCA funded to begin their composting journey.
Their pupil Eco Council are also developing their environmental credentials by organising a Christmas jumpers swap shop and Halloween costume swap shop, and they are working to reduce energy use by turning off lights and screens when they’re not in use.
A huge well done from HCA to all pupils, staff and families involved!
