THE Friends of Ilkley Riverside Parks are partnering with The 2 Minute Foundation, a registered charity dedicated to encouraging people to do a small amount of litter picking when they are out walking. The concept originated on the beaches of Britain and is now spreading to other areas, such as canals and parks. Jo Moseley, who paddle boarded around the coast of the England to raise funds for the Foundation, very kindly agreed to support the cost of a Litter Station in the Riverside Gardens from the funds she raised from her exploits. “We saw the impact the movement was having on keeping our beaches clean and were keen to see if we could replicate this in our parks here in Ilkley,” she said.
