The East Cowes community came out in force to help tidy up the town recently, in the latest installment of our Rubbish Networking event.

Around 40 people of all ages gathered in East Cowes, ready to clear litter from the beach, streets, town centre and community spaces.

Together, we filled multiple bags of rubbish, making it a very worthwhile few hours.

"We organise these events to show how small environmental actions can add up to a much bigger impact," said April Turner, NOSY Operations Director.

"It was great to welcome lots of families with children and by the time we had finished, the town looked much cleaner.

"It’s about connecting people, building community pride, and making a positive change to where we live, so a big thank you to everyone involved."

Betapak Ltd supported the event by providing the equipment and ensuring all the rubbish was disposed of responsibly.

East Cowes town councillor Cameron Palin was among those who joined in.

"It was a great experience to meet with so many like minded people, the rare opportunity to network outside of the 'normal' networking event," said Cameron.

"Conversations came so naturally whilst also delivering meaningful change in our community.

"As a town councillor, I'm keen to work with the creative sector and these events just reimagine how networking can be done."
