Adopt A Spot
PLEASE NOTE: We are currently unable to enter our office and will be in touch when we have a scheduled day to return.
Is there an area near you that could use a bit of TLC? Could you commit to carrying out just four clean ups a year? Then get involved in our Adopt A Spot programme!
Adopt a Spot is a scheme that enables volunteers across Northern Ireland to adopt an area and look after it.
Adopters can be anyone, from families, community or youth groups, schools and sporting associations. Live Here Love Here will provide groups with an adoption pack containing all the equipment you need, including a hints and tips booklet on how to run a successful clean up.
The guys at Mid Ulster Walking Club take their litter pickers out with them on all of their walks across Northern Ireland - mostly the Mourne Mountains! Your spot can be as big or as small as you want it to be, it can even be the street you live on! It could be a mile of beach that always seems to be full of litter, an urban park, your local forest….anywhere is possible!
The Adopt A Spot Kit
When you register for Adopt A Spot you'll get a maximum of 5 litter pickers, 5 high vis vests, 5 pairs of gloves, bin bags, First Aid Kit, bucket, sharps box, hints and tips booklet and a certificate. All we ask is that you record your clean ups on your profile and agree to carry out 4 clean ups a year for a minimum of 2 years.

What's Next?
When you register for Adopt A Spot, we will approve your application (we just check that your area is not already covered by another group or, if the area is large enough, that there would be enough litter for multiple groups). We'll then be in touch for you to book an appointment to collect the equipment from our office in Belfast. If it is not possible for you to get to Belfast please let us know.
