Meet our 2025 winners: Outwood Litter Heroes
Outwood Litter Heroes is a volunteer-led group dedicated to keeping the local area clean and safe. One of the group’s most active members, Ryan Goodlad, regularly carries out litter picks and has become a well-known figure in the community. His efforts have received recognition from local councillors and the MP.
The group’s work has improved the appearance of the neighbourhood, encouraged others to take pride in their surroundings, and helped protect the environment and local wildlife. By removing harmful waste, the group has reduced pollution and created a healthier space for everyone.
Outwood Litter Heroes shows how consistent, hands-on action can inspire change and strengthen community values.
