Tidy Friday

🌿 Tidy Fridays – Making Our Communities Cleaner, Together

Welcome to Tidy Fridays, our community-led initiative dedicated to keeping communities across Birmingham and Coventry clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone.
We believe that small actions can create big change—and by working together with our customers and local residents, we’re building stronger, prouder communities one street at a time.

💚 What are Tidy Fridays?

Tidy Fridays are regular clean-up events that take place in communities across Birmingham and Coventry. These sessions bring people together to improve local spaces, tackle litter, and take pride in where they live.
Whether it’s a park, a street, or a shared communal area, every Tidy Friday helps create a cleaner environment and a more positive place to live.



🌍 Why it matters

A clean community isn’t just about appearance—it has a real impact on wellbeing, safety, and community pride. By taking part in Tidy Fridays, you are helping to:
  • Reduce litter and environmental waste
  • Create safer and more pleasant shared spaces
  • Support community wellbeing and mental health
  • Encourage respect and pride in the local area
  • Bring residents together and strengthen community bonds


💪 What happens at a Tidy Friday?

Each session is friendly, relaxed, and open to everyone. Activities may include:
  • Litter picking in streets, green spaces, and communal areas
  • Tidying and maintaining shared outdoor spaces
  • Supporting small improvement projects in the neighbourhood
  • Highlighting areas that may need further attention
We provide all equipment, including:
  • Litter pickers
  • Bags
  • Gloves
Our team is always on hand to guide and support you throughout the session.

  • Customers and tenants
  • Families and young people

You don’t need any experience—just a willingness to get involved and make a difference.
