Emily and Julie from the Membership and Marketing team were helping out in the community yesterday evening (12th October) with the Writtle Brownies group.
The Brownies were undertaking a clean-up of the local Writtle area along with the Brownie Group leaders and Duke of Edinburgh Volunteers.
Chelmsford Co-op supplied the equipment and assisted at the event to ensure the safety of the children. The Brownies, who are all due to go on a three-night Brownie camp soon found the event beneficial and were earning points towards their ‘Zero Waste’ badges.
Julie commented, “It’s great that we, as a Co-op can help to raise awareness and educate young people on the importance of a clean environment and to be aware of living in a zero waste community.”
The team were eager at the start of the clean up, some adorning head torches ready for the night drawing in
