A poor-quality local environment has far-reaching negative impacts. It affects well-being, stifles economic growth and tourism, prevents people from using green space and is even associated with higher rates of crime and anti-social behaviour.

Fortunately, Wales has an army of volunteers who are passionate about keeping their communities clean and safe.

We want to celebrate the groups who brave all weathers to clean up our parks and streets; the people raising awareness of litter issues in their communities and the ones bringing different communities together.

With thanks to category sponsor Helping Hand Environmental.
