Join the Great British Spring Clean 2026
The Great British Spring Clean is the nation’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign.
The Great British Spring Clean and Great Big School Clean will take place from 13-29 March, and you can pledge to pick up a bag of litter – or more.
How to join the Great Big School Clean
Whether you’re an early years setting, primary academy, high school or SEN school, we’ll support you with resources as you join the Great Big School Clean this spring.
Litter-picking is a great way to provide fresh air and exercise and contribute to the physical fitness and well-being of our young people. It also helps them to connect with nature and develop a sense of responsibility for their surroundings and community.
No one is too small to make a big difference.
Pledging for the Great Big School Clean 2026 opens on 13 February.
Once you’ve made your pledge, you’ll receive a digital pack of resources for teachers, by e-mail, to help you activate the campaign in your school. The pack contains:
- A ‘How to’ litter pick guide for schools
- Litter Bingo
- Early years flashcards
- An assembly plan themed on litter
- Litter lesson ideas
- Thank you certificates for your young #LitterHeroes
