Community rallies together to clean up hub

A community has come together to clean up a hub, which hosts youth and family sessions run by child exploitation charity Safe and Sound.

As part of this year’s Great British Spring Clean, the charity joined forces with partner organisations, local councillors, schoolchildren, and community volunteers to transform Osmaston Community Hub, in Cotton Lane.

Teams worked tirelessly to refresh and revitalise the outdoor spaces surrounding the hub – home to Safe and Sound’s daily youth and family sessions.

The collaborative clean-up saw everything from jet washing and floor scraping to planting, waste removal and more.

Tracy Harrison, chief executive at Safe and Sound, said: “A massive ‘thank you’ to all the incredible people who rolled up their sleeves to make the day such a success – from Derby City Council, Derby Homes, local councillors and children from Ashwood Spencer Academy to our own Safe and Sound staff and volunteers.

“The energy, enthusiasm, and teamwork on display was truly heart-warming.”
