Last Saturday the Rapid Relief Team(RRT) in conjunction with Edinburgh Gospel Trust cleaned up Kirkliston.
The volunteers organised and conducted litter picks and were rewarded with a free lunch. Their mission is to spread ‘community spirit, compassionate care and supportive hands’.
After their hard work the end result was over 30 bags of rubbish picked up off the streets. The organisations hope that this will inspire residents in the village to keep litter out.
Daniel White, RRT Team Leader for this event said : “We had over 40 enthusiastic volunteers who enjoyed clearing the surrounding areas of rubbish before joining us at the leisure centre for a well-deserved burger lunch.
“It was fantastic to see the community come together with a passion to arrest the growing problem of our parks and streets being blighted by litter. We care about the communities we live in and felt this was a fantastic cause for the RRT and Edinburgh Gospel Trust to get behind and support.”
