The Great British September Clean Continues This Week.

Hundreds of thousands of #LitterHeroes have been taking to our streets, parks and beaches to clean up and protect our environment. We've been inspired by so many stories of people who have been getting involved, despite the difficulties we now face.

As we enter the second week of the campaign we are reminded of the importance of the action we are taking to remove litter and prevent wildlife being injured.

Our friends at the RSPCA have helped over 900 animals since the start of lockdown that have been caught in litter, especially all of the new disposable face masks which our blighting our environment.

One such incident includes a gull who was found to have a face mask tightly round his legs in Chelmsford, Essex (pictured above)

Despite the face mask causing swelling to his legs, the bird has now fully recovered - but it is just one example as to how dangerous face masks can be to animals.

The more we pick, the safer these animals will be.

There's still a week to go - It's not too late to make a difference!
