Great Big School Clean

Join the Great Big School Clean

The Great Big School Clean is back, and we'd like to ask for your school's support for this year's special mass action campaign, which takes place from 21 March – 6 April. 

We believe it’s vital we encourage children to love where they live, show pride in their communities, and care for their surroundings, from a young age. We’re thrilled to reveal that last year alone, more than 160,000 pupils across the country pledged to take part in the Great Big School Clean to improve their neighbourhoods and public spaces. 

If every child who attended school in the UK pledged to pick up just one bag of litter during the Great Big School Clean, we could remove a colossal 10.3 million bags of litter from our natural environment! 

So join the Great Big School Clean this spring, and help your young people show that they love where they live.

How to join the Great Big School Clean  

Let us know how many pupils will take part and how many bags they pledge to collect by clicking the pledge link below. You can start picking up any time from now until the end of term.  

Once you’ve made your pledge, you’ll receive a digital pack of resources for teachers, by e-mail, to help you activate the campaign in your school. The pack contains:    

• A ‘How to’ litter pick guide for schools   

• Litter Bingo    

• Early years flashcards 

• An assembly plan themed on litter 

• Litter lesson ideas 

• Thank you certificates for your young #LitterHeroes
