Clean streets and rivers for London: restoring the Unity canal
Help us clean and replant the Unity canal before the December planting window closes.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom834 views
The Unity canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This September, 46 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 68 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Signage and educational materials: $105
• Waste removal and skip hire: $400
• Tools and protective gear: $595
Glad we found this place.

Hope things get better soon. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We're a small family in Cebu City but we're thinking of you.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marilyn!
Sure. The biggest one is signage and educational materials, $105. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope it all works out, Marilyn. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
hang in there, Marilyn. Hope this works out for you. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
Stay strong, Marilyn. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of London.
Thinking of you and your family, Marilyn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
