London young people to hold litter-picking flash mob

1 min read Youth Work
Young people from east London are planning to combat negative stereotypes with a litter-picking flash mob.

The 11- to 20-year-olds, some of whom are part of LifeLine Youth Consultancy, which gives youth workers advice on engaging young people, will wear high-visibility vests at the Switch ID event in Dagenham on 31 January. They will pick up litter, distribute leaflets for a local youth club and survey local residents on potential improvements to the area, supported by local youth workers.
