FREE training day

The Thames21 Big Tidy Up Training Day
MONDAY 24 NOVEMBER 2008
Fishmongers' Hall, London Bridge, EC4R 9EL.

This day is an ideal way to learn how to put together a waterway clean-up event. Maybe you’ve noticed a neglected river near you that you would like to clean and are unsure how to go about doing it, or perhaps you have a group of volunteers interested in improving your local canal.
This FREE day run by Thames21 will provide you with everything you need to know...

Those attending the training day will be able to network and share ideas with like-minded individuals from all over the UK and learn how to organise a waterway clean-up event from start to finish including:

- promoting your event and appealing for volunteers

- selecting a site with reference to necessary health and safety as well as access requirements

- how to involve volunteers with disabilities

- motivating and inspiring your volunteer group during the event

- telling the wider community about your event’s success!
