In just four months since launching, Good Deed Circles has made a significant difference by promoting kindness, community spirit, and cleaner neighbourhoods through regular litter-picking activities.
The group has organised successful litter picks across Royton, Coppice, Chadderton, and Coldhurst, bringing local residents together to care for their communities. They have also worked in partnership with a range of faith organisations to encourage people to keep their neighbourhoods clean and litter-free.
Abul Kalam Azad, who is a regular volunteer, feels inspired and motivated by the organisation’s work. He said he is “extremely happy” to be part of such an “amazing group.”
In June, Good Deed Circles celebrated the dedication of its volunteers with a special Volunteers' Celebration event, supported by Action Together.
Volunteers came together to enjoy food, fun, and well-deserved recognition for their hard work and commitment. The event included football-themed games inspired by the FIFA Club World Cup, adding to the excitement as everyone looked forward to the tournament final on Sunday, with one lucky volunteer winning a special prize.
The group also took part in The Great Get Together, supported by the Jo Cox Foundation, marking its 10th anniversary. The event combined community litter picking with activities that celebrated kindness, unity, and bringing people together.
Good Deed Circles believes that simple acts of kindness can inspire positive change and strengthen communities. Its members and volunteers are passionate about encouraging others to get involved and make a difference through practical community action.
Sykul Islam Shah, another regular litter picking volunteer, who joined after seeing Good Deed Circles activities on social media.
He feels part of the community and is satisfied to be contributing his time and support to a “great cause.”
The group welcomes new volunteers to join its regular litter-picking events. Anyone interested in getting involved can find out more by visiting the Good Deed Circles Facebook page.
