Make A Difference Day 2025

What is MADD – Make a Difference Day?

A volunteer-driven environmental initiative where we:

• Pick up litter – Cleaning up local areas to reduce pollution.
• Fundraising to plant trees – Restoring natural habitats with YDMT (Yorkshire Dale Millennium Trust), we hope to raise £10,000 to plant 1,000 trees.
• Engage with our community – Bringing together businesses, families, and individuals.

Our Goal: 1-hour litter pick | 100+ participants | 1,000 trees planted | 10,000 pieces of litter removed
