A SHINING EXAMPLE OF COMMUNITY SPIRIT


MONTHLY VOLUNTEER-LED MISSIONS

The City Friends Club is a non-profit organisation that organises monthly volunteer-led clean-up missions all over the City of Limassol. Their overall aim is to improve urban spaces and all volunteers meet at pre-designated public locations and then spend the morning collecting all kinds of unwanted refuse. The organisation actively helps find new places to clean every month and this breathes life into every corner of the city, with a view of creating a more beautiful and cleaner Limassol. The organisation is solely dependant on donations to support the work of their cleaners who surrender a few hours a month for not only a rewarding experience but one that fills them with a sense of pride.

A GROUP PHOTO

Volunteers collect all discarded refuse and litter including cans, water bottles, cigarette butts, and various food packaging. The area is divided into patches in the immediate area, which are then given over to each volunteer. They are issued trash bags, trash pickers and heavy-duty gloves, and once the trash bags are filled, they return to the central meeting point. Organisers and volunteers gather for a group photo next to all the waste they have collected on the day, and this acts as an accomplished award for each volunteer.
