I love seeing animals and this is the way to make sure animals get what they need and they don\u2019t get hurt. I want to take part in other litter picks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her mother, Hayley Huwlett-Andrews, said: \u201cI feel proud. She started litter picking a couple of years back and really enjoys it.

My neighbour had organised a litter pick, so I popped along.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was my daughter\u2019s first litter pick. My first one was the week before.

It has been successful as we have made improvements to green spaces and areas that are cleaned look so much better.
