The vision is a pristine planet. The strategy is parish by parish.
What you do
You are a town or parish council
You invite residents to a get-together where we will present the #PristineParish Program.
You purchase and maintain a store of sturdy grabbers and hi-vis vests for volunteers.
What we do
We are Eden HQ
We set up and manage twice-weekly patrols of your entire parish at no cost to you.
We cover our costs by issuing #PristinePlanet Credits and selling them to sponsors.
What’s the outcome?
cleaner waterways.
The twice-weekly pikking means that zero rubbish flows from your parish into the streams, rivers and seas.
a spring in people’s step.
Given the main topic in an MP's postbag is litter, the permanent lack of litter will lift your neighbours’ spirits.
best practice spreads
Your council will be seen to be innovators and your parish will become a reference point for other councils.
Clean parishes mean cleaner beaches.
Volunteers enjoy combining exercise with community service.
Highly recommend this volunteering role. It gets us out and about and talking to people in the village.

Cannot recommend this highly enough. Exercise, community service and environmental improvement.
Glenn B
I too highly recommend volunteering for this role, good for those completing their D of E too. It’s very rewarding and a chance to enjoy the seasons.

Being on my parish rota is like having a personal trainer turn up every week to make me exercise. No excuses. Just do it!

We enjoy helping them do so.
