#LitterHeroes Ambassador Programme

The #LitterHeroes Ambassador programme is temporarily closed to new applications, whilst we make some changes to the running of the programme.

You can still find out more about the programme and register your interest below.

In the meantime, if you register as a #LitterHero you will be the first to know when the Ambassador programme is reopening. Find out more here

Current Ambassadors, #LitterHeroes and the public can record their litter picks via Collect & Count here.

Have you got what it takes to be a #LitterHeroes Ambassador? If so, join us!

We should all care for our local environment, but we know that some go above and beyond. Whilst juggling work, family and life, people care for the environment not just on their own doorstep but on their neighbours too.

We are looking for people, with infectious enthusiasm and a passion for action, to become a #LitterHeroes Ambassador in their local community, to help us shape the future of a litter-free UK.

Whether you already litter pick for an hour a day or for an hour a month, if you are passionate about the fight against litter, making a difference on your own doorstep and spreading the message further, this could be the opportunity for you!

You will need to lead an existing litter picking group in your community and host regular litter picking events, encouraging others to love where they live and make tangible improvements to your neighbourhood.

Thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery, we can support you to build on your existing activities and make a greater impact as part of a national network of #LitterHeroes Ambassadors. Together we’ll clean up this country.

Your role as an Ambassador

As a #LitterHeroes Ambassador you will be passionate about eradicating litter and will work within your local community to support the litter picking activities of others. You will lead an existing group, which hosts regular events throughout the year. Your group might undertake other environmental activities alongside litter picking too.

To support Keep Britain Tidy, you will promote and take part in our campaigns, such as the Great British Spring Clean. You will encourage new volunteers to connect with Keep Britain Tidy and register as #LitterHeroes.

You will also record your individual and group litter-picking data, via Collect & Count, to help us build a national picture of the scale and impact of litter picking volunteering and the litter problem.
