The Young People’s Movement and RAE Academy are leading a Brixton-wide clean-up on the 1st March, supported by Marcus Lipton Community Centre, Action on ASB! and Brixton BID, and they need the whole community behind them.
They’re calling on every Brixton resident, business and community organisation to roll up their sleeves and help clean the streets.
They say, “Do your doorstep, your street, or the town centre. It all counts. The aim is to be greater than the sum of our parts.”
About the day
What is it?
The Brixton Community Clean-Up is a coordinated day of action bringing together young people, residents, local businesses, community organisations, and partners to improve the local environment across Brixton and nearby estates.
Why?
The initiative is deliberately positive and practical. It is about local people visibly taking responsibility for the places they live, work, and socialise — strengthening pride in Brixton
and reinforcing shared expectations around care, behaviour, and partnership with the council.
Where?
The clean-up will take place simultaneously across Central Brixton, Moorlands Estate, Loughborough Junction, and Angell Town, with each area focusing on its own local
patch. Local Community Champions will coordinate volunteers, equipment, and briefings so teams can work safely and efficiently for around 1–1.5 hours.
Who?
The effort is youth-led by design, with young people involved in planning, promotion, delivery, and follow-up.
The lead youth group is Young People’s Movement (YPM) & RAE Academy and they are being supported by ML Community Enterprise (MLCE), Action on ASB, and Brixton BID.
The day will conclude with a shared celebration in central Brixton, bringing everyone together to recognise collective effort, amplify positive messages, and reinforce pride in place.
The message is simple: Brixton is our home — and looking after it is something we do together.
