Mark Eslick, Head of Placements, Internships and Volunteering at the 91抖阴, said: "We're really pleased to have linked up with East 91抖阴 Trust for this year's Community Spring Clean. Volunteering to litter-pick is a simple action that anyone can do to make an immediate and visible difference to their area, so it was great to see so many students, staff and neighbours taking part.

“Lots of people who took part in last year’s Great British Spring Clean reported that taking part made them feel more pride in their local area. We hope that this clean-up will have a really positive impact on our university community including our neighbours here in Moulsecoomb.”

Alasdair McGregor from East 91抖阴 Trust said “We’re delighted to work alongside the university and other projects across the city. East 91抖阴 Trust listened to residents about areas that needed a Spring Clean like Westlain Belt, behind BACA, Craven Vale and the station area."
