Plymouth Community Homes (PCH) is proud to continue its strong partnership with Clean Our Patch (COP), a local litter-picking initiative dedicated to keeping the community clean and green, with the recent sale of a retired PCH vehicle.
As part of the ongoing collaboration, the fleet vehicle will start a new life and assist COP with the fantastic work they do.
PCH works closely with COP, collaborating to maintain the cleanliness of local streets and enhancing the quality of life of its residents in the neighbourhoods. By providing COP with a van, PCH reinforces its commitment to keeping our streets clean, safe, and appealing for residents.
We spoke with Ryan Huws, Communities Worker at Plymouth Community Homes, who shared his enthusiasm for the initiative. He said:
“Clean Our Patch does an incredible job ensuring that our PCH neighbourhoods remain free from unsightly and environmentally damaging litter. Their dedication and hard work positively impact our community. Plymouth Community Homes is proud to support their efforts. We encourage anyone interested in contributing to our Litter Pick Groups to reach out and get involved. Together, we can make a significant difference in our community.”
Sharing a post on Facebook, COP said: “So we’ve got some exciting news!
As you all know Doris (the car) went off at start her new life just before Christmas. We obviously needed a new vehicle so we decided to invest in something that will last COP.
Thanks to Plymouth Community Homes we have upgraded and got ourselves a VAN!"
“Now we need some help naming the van and this is where you come in"
For just a £2 donation you can choose a name from the list below and the winning name will be sign written in the van when we have it wrapped! The name will be chosen by a random number generator on Sunday 26 January 2025.”
On Sunday 26 January, COP shared a video on Facebook where the name for their van was revealed. They have called the van ‘Atlas’.
This collaboration highlights the importance of supporting community initiatives and local organisations, allowing them to work hand in hand to create a cleaner and greener Plymouth.
