About Us
We are delighted to advise that during 2019 we have welcomed two more groups to the Womble family. ASHTON WOMBLES led by Diane and Nick Plunkett, and SALE MOOR WOMBLES led by Claire Marshall. In 2020 another group was formed - BROOKLANDS WOMBLES - Team Leader is Mark Eaton. In January 2021 we welcome a new team - WOODHEYS WOMBLES. The Team Leader is Susie deBoeck.
Join us - rediscover your community spirit, volunteer and make friends along the way - because together we can make a visible difference which benefits us all. Giving a little of your time is easy and volunteers go away feeling proud of their achievements, and are often thanked by passers-by. Recent new volunteers said they really enjoyed it and didn't want to stop Warning - it seems litter picking can be addictive!

Sale Wombles has been hibernating for some time, and is now coming out of slumber so we can tidy up our lovelly town. We are also delighted that in the past year several new Womble teams have sprung up in Ashton, Brooklands and Sale Moor. Long standing partners such as Timperley Tidiers and Bridgewater Wombles are still going strong. The campaigning efforts of the Sale Water Park Wombles resulted in a permanent Warden Team.
Spring is now blooming - and its time to spruce up our lovelly village! Please join us for coffee afterwards on the high street.
Our new team is keen to continue its activities in the Brooklands area around Acre Park. Team Leader is Mark Eaton. Lots of additional enhancement ideas are being considered for the central area of Brooklands.

Afterwards, please join us for well deserved refreshments in Asda's Coffee Shop. All equipment is provided, and please bring your own gloves.
Please join us for a litter pick along the Bridgewater Canal pathway. From this point some members of the team will head north towards Timperley, and others south towards Dunham. Refreshments are available in the Pub afterwards.

Please join us for the first litter pick to be carried out by our new team. Our aim is to tidy up Acre park and surrounding streets. We are also planning to adopt planters near Brooklands Metro Station road junction, and enhance with wild flowers.
Spring is just around the corner - so let's ensure our village is looking its best! Litter pick will only take two hours of your time - and will make a hugely positive impact!.
