“I’m the Sophie behind Sophie’s SUPER Litter Picking group on Facebook, Instagram and now TikTok as well! We host litter picks every month, beach cleans and events to support our local community. After each event, a very kind and supportive local businesses provides us with ‘post-pick’ refreshments and the volunteers get together to chat, laugh and put the world to rights! We weigh the litter picked, recycle what we can and take pride in our town, feeling proud that we’ve improved it, making it a little more SUPER!
We don’t just pick litter. We make a difference. A positive one! And we are proud of that. 
Our Facebook link is here, we’re on Instagram as @sophiessuperlitterpicking and TikTok is right here! They’re all full of positivity, support and photos of litter!”
