Leah also sent this about Tidy Towns...

The voluntary group I researched is Celbridge Tidy Towns. Tidy Town’s volunteers keep towns and villages clean around Ireland and uses lots of their free time to keep the towns clean and tidy.

Most towns around Ireland have the tidy towns committee in the community to work as a community. In Celbridge they get together and clean up around the place on Sundays.

Tidy Towns is funded through a mixture of public and private money which pays for the organisation. Tidy Towns also have competitions to get more and more people involved. A few years ago there was a competition for the best garden and it got people involved in their community and tidying their neighbourhood and gardens etc.
