Slough bank staff assist Slough Anti-Litter Society with park clean-up

Staff from a bank in Slough have used their day to support a local charity or good cause to volunteer as litter pickers in Upton Park.

Metro Bank gives staff members a Day to Amaze – a paid day off to support a local charity or good cause.

Colleagues Rohit Bhangu, Tejas Rach, Shaan Banger, Phil Opie and Arish Mehta from Slough Metro Bank joined residents and volunteers in collecting rubbish and litter in Upton Park.

The clean-up was organised by the Slough Anti-Litter Society – a group of people who work, live and/or learn in Slough and want to make a positive difference to the environment and the community.

The charity tackles litter issues in the town by bringing people together for clean-up, reduce, re-use and upcycling events, and aims to continue until Slough is both green and clean.

Rohit Bhangu, Slough Metro Bank local director, said: “As a community bank, we love being given the time to help local good causes.

“It was lovely spending the day outside and thankfully the weather was glorious. We collected masses of rubbish and it was great to see the park looking so much cleaner and greener after all our hard work.”
