ADOPT A SPOT 2015 - Is there an area in your community that could do with a clean up? Are you fed up with graffiti,
litter and dog mess on your doorstep? With 96% of Northern Ireland’s streets having been found to have litter, why not
join forces with Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful and Adopt a Spot! The scheme will formally enable volunteer groups
to adopt an area and look after it. You can choose any area you like. If you think there is an area that could do with a bit
of TLC, why not adopt it.
Adopters can be anyone, from families, community or youth groups, schools, sporting associations. With the help of
KNIB you will hold 4 clean ups a year at a time of your choice. KNIB will provide an adoption pack containing all the
equipment needed such as litter pickers, bin bags, gloves, high viz vests and a hints and tips booklet on how to run a
successful clean up.
If you are interested in instilling a pride of place in your community, fill in application form and return it to
[email protected].
Please return by Thursday 19 February so that KNIB can vet your application. Application form and other info
