About Us

KWT project officers will work closely with Communities First staff and local residents from Neath Town Centre, Neath East, Brackla, Bettws, Penlan, Blaenymaes and Pilgwenlly to identify, and undertake, a range of environmental improvement projects over the next year.

Practical projects will include litter-picks, biodiversity improvements, access work aswell as a series of campaigns to raise awareness of local environmental issues such as dog fouling and flytipping.

Eaglesbush Valley Cleanup

Volunteers gathered in Eaglesbush Valley to undertake a cleanup, members of the NEAT group, Neath East Communities First & pupils from Cwrt Sart Comprehensive School all helped to remove over 30 black bags of rubbish from this beautiful site in the Melin.

A special welcome to Magda, who experienced her first volunteer event with Keep Wales Tidy, she must have enjoyed it because she has now signed up to join NEAT!

Arron Thomas, aged 12, from Cwrt Sart Comprehensive School said, “It was fun, I really enjoyed climbing the hill to find the rubbish. It was great to clean up the area and get some exercise.”

Ingenious teacher, Mr Aldridge, set his pupils the task of finding certain items of rubbish; see if you can guess where he hid the cans?

• I run but have no legs
• I am not on the ground but monkey like
