Clean Team Prestwich - How we did it

A Frame boards
Our 2 minute litter pick boards - -these can be procured from https://beachclean.net/boards - they are pretty sturdy and we managed to get a local shop to go half the costs on buying one - as its good brand awareness for them too. We went for the fully personalised option as it has Prestwich in bold letters, front and back and our logo at the bottom. It cost £570.
We also have an A-Frame board which has a A1 poster - we bought from https://www.ukpos.com/ and got the poster designed at Bury Print.

Ballot Bin
These yellow cigarette bins can be bought from https://ballotbin.co.uk/ - the one we got cost £303 as it came with all the fittings to allow it to be secured to both a lamp post or a fence.

How we got off the ground
So Clean Team Prestwich - we have attended where possible a number of community organised events where we have networked with other volunteer groups and found out what works, who their suppliers are etc. Furthermore we have googled around the internet to see what other groups are doing well.
In terms of Print material - we have been using a company - Bury Print - that seem to be reasonable priced; an added bonus is they don't charge VAT. Ian Rothwell is our contact - they were recommended by Prestwich Arts Festival - and they have supplied all our banners and plastic boards etc. We - our group of volunteers have designed everything using Microsoft Powerpoint or Word - then asked Bury Print to better / create proofs from which we review collectively and agree (or not) before it gets published.
For Kids litter picking - I have found the company http://www.kidshivis.co.uk/ to be pretty good, with quick turn around times.
We also have procured recently litter pickers from https://www.hhenvironmental.co.uk/ our contact is Chrissie Jeffery who should be able to help you out.
As to advise to maximise success - try and build a committee of volunteers who will get regularly involved. Start a Whatsapp group to keep that committee involved. Use Social media. Regular litter picks works well and keep trying new ideas until you find one that works.
