Welcome to the new 2012 Bin Buddies blog page!
We are Evie, Kate and Liv - three thirteen year old girls from Beverley High School, and are taking part in Humberside Police's Lifestyle competition. This is our third year in the competition and we are hoping that we will be as successful as in the past two years.
In 2010 we litter picked and raised money for two new bins for the village of Tickton. We won an amazing PGL adventure holiday to Wales, and also won mountain bikes and trophies as winners of the GreenScene Award.
In 2011 we made 79 clocks from recycled materials and held an exhibition that people could attend and buy the clocks to raise money for 5000 leaflets about recycling for schools and clock movements for D&T classes. We also raised £400 for Real Aid, a local charity. This year we were runners up and won a fantastic PGL adventure holiday in France, as well as two days at Disneyland Paris.
This year we are hoping to extend the theme of reusing and recycling by holding an art exhibition of artwork we have made from recycled materials. We also plan to hold a sponsored wheelchair event to help raise money for a group called 'Special Smiles' to take their disabled children on a day trip to Honeysuckle Farm.
We are hoping that people will follow us on our blog to see how we are able to make a difference to our local community.
Thanks for joining us!
Evie, Kate and Liv
