Sunny Weather Expected for This Weekend's Litter Pick
Sun cream and hats likely to be needed by volunteers on Turnham Green
Members of the Chiswick Litter Pick Team
May 23, 2026
Local residents will gather this Sunday, 24 May, for the monthly Turnham Green Litter Pick — a community clean‑up that has become a regular fixture in Chiswick’s calendar. Volunteers will meet at 2.30pm at Christ Church, Turnham Green, before spending about an hour collecting litter on the Green and surrounding residential streets. The group will return to the church by 3.30pm for tea, home‑made cake and a chance to chat.
The organisers have reminded participants to bring their own gardening or protective gloves if possible, and noted that group photos may be taken to help publicise the work of the volunteers. Anyone who prefers not to appear in photos is asked to let organisers know in advance.
This particular weekend it may be advisable to bring suncream and hats with a clear sunny day forecast with temperatures of up to 30 degrees centigrade.
The litter pick is part of a monthly programme that runs on the fourth Sunday of each month, excluding August and December. Upcoming dates include 28 June, 26 July, 27 September, 25 October and 22 November.
Volunteers say the regular sessions have made a visible difference to the park and nearby streets, particularly after busy weekends and public holidays.
Organisers say newcomers are always welcome, whether they can stay for the full hour or just drop in for part of the session.

We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.
