Owner of popular Chesterfield chip shop organises another litter pick – serving up free food for volunteers as part of efforts to give back to local community

Happy Singh is the owner of Happy’s Chippy, located on South Street North in New Whittington. The team at the chip shop are organising another community litter pick on Sunday, July 12 - after helping to clear more than 300kg of rubbish from the streets of New Whittington.

Happy said: “After the incredible support from our previous community litter picks, we’re inviting everyone to join us for another afternoon of making New Whittington cleaner and greener.

“Together we’ve already removed over 300kg of litter from our local streets, and we’d love to make this one our biggest and best yet. Every bag collected makes a real difference to our community.

“A huge thank you to everyone who has already given up their Sundays to support these litter picks and continues to do so. Your time, effort and community spirit are what make these events such a success.

“We’re also incredibly grateful to Chesterfield Litter Pickers for once again supporting us by providing all the equipment and helping with the collection and disposal of the rubbish.”

For anyone wanting to get involved, the litter pick will take place between 1.00pm and 3.00pm - with volunteers being asked to meet at Happy’s Chippy. As a thank you to everyone who takes part, Happy will be providing free chips (with a choice of curry, gravy, mushy peas and beans) - along with a soft drink, juice, tea or coffee.

Happy added: “Whether you can spare 30 minutes or the full two hours, everyone is welcome. Bring the family, invite your friends and let’s show what our community can achieve when we work together.”

Volunteers are asked to confirm their attendance on Facebook so the team can organise food and equipment for those taking part in the litter pick.
