The group took to the beauty spot to give it a clean-up

People with disabilities and mobiity issues have helped give a Doncaster beauty spot a clean-up after taking part in a litter-picking session.

The event, organised by Friends of Conisbrough and Denaby Crags, came about when the group’s chair Tony Sellars was asked by a person with walking difficulties if they could come on a litter pick using her zimmer frame.

He said: “The result was great - the disabled person felt valued and enjoyed being a member the group.

“It was therefore agreed by the Friends of the Crags Group that we should encourage more disabled people to attend.”

He said: “By organising this litter pick, we aim to give people of all ages—particularly people with disabilities or those experiencing isolation—the opportunity to take part in a worthwhile community activity, meet and connect with others, develop a stronger sense of purpose and improve their overall wellbeing.

Sheila, 70, said: “I loved every minute. As a newcomer to Conisbrough, | enjoyed meeting new people and had a great day.”

Beryl, 79, said: “It was nice to get out with other people and visit the beautiful Crags area.”

Fen, 50, said: “It was a great day. It was nice to take part in the litter picking and encourage people with disabilities to participate.”

Sisters Betty, 77, and Christine, 79 said: “It was nice to meet new people in lovely surroundings, help pick up litter, and enjoy the local area and the refreshments provided .”

Mr Sellars added: “It was a very rewarding day. We proved that a small community group can support disabled members of the community in this way.”
