A Sheffield-based environmental group has hosted their annual spring clean-up in Greenhill this week, with members of the community coming together to litter pick for Great British Spring Cleaning Week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poppy Smith, 33, has been a member of Greener Greenhill for three years now. The organisation is dedicated to doing their bit, keeping Greenhill clean and sustainable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With her trusty sidekick daughter, Eleanor, Mrs Smith stood outside the Greenhill library handing out equipment and assignments to fellow community members. <\/p>\n\n\n\nGreenhill roundabout covered in flowerbeds planted by Greener Greenhill, credit to Max Carson. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
She said: \u201cTo take pride in your area, across Sheffield we all have to do our bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all about being visible, it helps build the community spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She found out about Greener Greenhill when she first moved to the area, seeing a stand similar to her own and sparking up a conversation with a member of the organisation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The litter picks happen twice a year, with the first taking place in March when the flower beds show signs of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group works closely with other stakeholders in Greenhill, most notably the local library which is run entirely by volunteers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greener Greenhill holds other events in the area, such as running repair cafes at St Peter’s church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These events bring local craftspeople come together to help reduce waste by repairing tools, electronics and clothes free of charge to avoid them going to landfill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Neil Hicklin, 63, has been involved with the group since it started working in the community three years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said: “We have helped create a sense of identity through our Greenhill branding, and have helped create a better sense of community.” <\/p>\n\n\n\nJason’s statues outside of the library, credit to Max Carson. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Greener Greenhill also helped commission metal statues made by Huddersfield-based artist, Jason Heppenstall, that now stand outside of the library.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Heppenstall said: \u201cIt was lovely to make the pieces for the library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wanted to add an element of fun to make everyone smile, everything I make is 100% recycled, fitting with the green Greenhill ethos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
