| Dixons Broadgreen Academy and vicinity litter pick: a happier, healthier, cleaner Liverpool | We want our staff, students and families to feel safe and have pride in where they live.

Helping clear some of the litter surrounding our academy, alongside colleagues, is an opportunity to connect with others and keep active. Make a visible difference to our shared spaces. |
