Story
The Town Sprucer regenerates public spaces by removing graffiti, litter-picking, planting flower beds, painting litter bins and much more. As an independent initiative Pete the Sprucer has made a real impact and in the process has become a local hero, but there is still much to do. Now working with volunteers and job-seekers, 7 long-term unemployed people have now got full-time employment as a direct result of their work with the Sprucer. Money has stopped coming in and Folkestone needs Pete

If we all just gave £2.... As a huge fan of Pete and the work that he does helping the community, I would like to help raise money so we can keep him. We should be proud to have a community initiative like this, let's shout about it.
