♻️ Local volunteers making a difference in Normanton

Yesterday, we joined volunteers at Normanton Library for a community litter pick organised by Wakefield Libraries.

It was great to see so many people giving up an hour of their time to help tidy up the local area. Together, we collected over 10 bags of rubbish!

A huge thank you to everyone who took part. We'd love to see even more people getting involved in community activities like this. 💚
