Our Be More Starfish Situ roadshow in Bristol was a real hit. We got to share exciting Situ updates, have some great talks about ESG, and hand out well-deserved partner awards. But what made it truly special was connecting with our Bristol partners and everyone who made the trip to be with us.

Situ roadshow in Bristol 2023

Be More Starfish litter-picking with the Big Tidy Bristol team

But before the roadshow… The Situ roadshow team arrived in Bristol in the morning to join a clean-up with the Big Tidy Bristol team. We collected 14 bags of waste around Prewett Street in Redcliffe. The bags included hard hats, floppy disks and a DVD copy of Eat Pray Love.

We had many local residents stopping to say thank you, and a bit out of the ordinary, one guy wanted Jo Redman and Seth Hanson to listen to him practising for a presentation he was giving later that morning. So they listened while litter-picking – he was brilliant – we hope he smashed it!

Please remember to always put your litter in a bin, or take it home and recycle it!
