The Crosby Wombles: Where you pick up more than litter, but also love and community

Make a Difference: Merseyside

Available for over a year

We all hate to see litter in our neighbourhoods, as it can really spoil an otherwise lovely walk in the park. Deciding to do something about it three years ago, Dawn D'Auvin and Jacqui Armistead set up the Crosby Wombles. The group aims to bring together like-minded people who strive to make the world a cleaner place. And in the sudden passing of Dawn's husband, the group became a support system she could have never foreseen.
