If you wish to join in with an event, it may be a good idea to contact Dan: daniel.snaith@keepwalestidy.org or Brian: KBMogford@carmarthenshire.gov.uk beforehand.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MEETING POINTS ARE WHERE THE ARROW IS POINTING, NOT POINT A.

All (unless otherwise stated) are welcome to join the above events. You are welcome to stay for the duration or any time you can give will be greatly received. For all day events (those that continue after 1pm), please bring lunch as we don’t provide this, and the work locations are often not near food outlets / shops.

If you arrive after the designated start time, please ring 07824 504805 or 07887 932066 when you arrive in case we have moved on to a different part of the site, or come and look for us.

End times are just a guide and events / work days may end earlier if the job is finished.

Children under 16 should be accompanied by an adult.

You are covered under Keep Wales Tidy’s insurance while at these events.

Please dress sensibly to suit the weather conditions on the day. Suitable footwear should also be worn (not sandals / flip flops, formal shoes); safety boots are ideal, but anything fairly rugged will be acceptable.

For more information contact Dan: daniel.snaith@keepwalestidy.org or phone 07824 504805, or Brian: KBMogford@carmarthenshire.gov.uk or phone 07887 932066.
