Jill Alan and Local MP Tom Brake join others to ‘Make a Difference’

The vision of Community Service Volunteers is to build strong and inclusive communities through various local and national campaigns. CSV encourages people to take an active role in their communities and supports them to engage in activities which improve, and benefit, their neighborhoods.

Councillors Alan Salter (pictured second from left) and Jill Whitehead (pictured centre) joined Tom Brake MP, his team and local constituents of Carshalton and Wallington took part in the CSV’s campaign to make a difference on Saturday 12th October. After listening to constituents’ advice on what area to clean, Tom decided to pick up litter along the River Wandle.

Meeting at the bridge in Papermill Close, off Mill Lane in Carshalton, volunteers helped pick up litter during the afternoon.

Wellies and garden gloves were worn by our kind helpers who helped made the day fun and enjoyable, as well as environmentally helpful!

Tom, said, “I was pleased to be able to do something about the litter, found in and around the River Wandle, local residents have been worried about.”

“I want to extend my thanks to everyone who volunteered and helped in our CSV Action Day. Sometimes it’s fun to get stuck in and your hands dirty.”

The River Wandle in Carshalton is now cleaner due to the efforts of Tom, his team and local people.
