John ReadFounderClean Up Britain
A ground-breaking environmental and community behavioural change campaign in Warwickshire
John Read, Founder, Clean Up Britain
What is Clean Up Britain…?
• Clean Up Britain founded in 2010
• Community Interest Company
• Patron is Jeremy Paxman
• Campaign Chairs are Kenny & Gabby Logan
• Single objective: “to change attitudes and behaviour of the 20m+
people in Britain who drop litter/fly-tip”
• Expanded our activities into broader ‘environmental quality’
(litter, fly-tipping, plastic, Deposit Return Schemes, re-use,
recycling and research)
• Experienced national campaigners, now providing a range of CSR
and advisory services
• Collaborative approach - working with many organisations - for
collective benefits
Is litter really an important issue?
You might be surprised…
• It’s a massive waste of money (£4 BILLION a year)
Especially in the context of Britain’s very alarming balance sheet debt…
• The UK owes £1.762 trillion (ONS, Feb 2018) - 85.1% of GDP
• £30,000+ per person
• OBR forecasts 2017/18 national debt interest payments to be £54.7 billion
• £2,000 a second accumulated interest
• Plus, another £1.5 trillion off-balance sheet debt (PFI schemes and
unfactored public sector pension commitments)… £1.762tn + £1.5tn = £3.262
trillion
• Hardly overstating it to say the UK is semi-bankrupt
And the negative consequences of litter go on….
•Harm/death to animals
•Mental health link
•Damaging tourism (US travel agencies…)
265,000 businesses; 9.5% of Britain’s GDP; 3 million jobs
•Damaging inward investment (Birmingham airport)
•Correlation with crime
•Symptomatic of a breakdown in respect/community pride
Key details of the campaign in Leamington Spa
• Clean Up Britain and Warwick Business School are designing and running a highly professional,
high impact, anti-litter behavioural change campaign, in Leamington Spa. System 1 = feeling,
intuition and emotion System 2 = logical, rational and analytical
• The campaign will be collaborative and co-created with various stakeholders, and be upbeat and
positive, and appeal to environmental concerns and community pride
• The objective of the campaign is to prompt a sustained reduction in the amount of people who
litter - especially young people. This will be achieved by education, a raft of communication
techniques, legal enforcement, ‘nudges’ and improved infrastructure
• It will be launched on April 23rd, and run over a minimum 12 month period
• The pre and post campaign results will be carefully measured and quantifiable
• Campaign is a test-bed/incubator unit for new ideas - to upscale for national campaign

What are we trying to achieve with the campaign?
• To test and measure to what extent we can change community behaviour over an extended period of time. What works, what doesn’t.
• Starting with strong (negative) environmental messaging, but transition to positive and uplifting community pride messages.
• Significantly associate ‘Britain’s litter issue’ within a wider community, economic and environmental context.
• Show that many diverse stakeholders can work effectively together, and jointly influence behaviour - which will take time.
Why your organisation might want to get involved in the campaign
• Becoming a ‘Company in the Community’ Partner offers a range of partner benefits.
• In addition, we will use our learning to influence and inform the execution of the government’s
national anti-litter behavioural change campaign.
• We will ensure you are given significant public credit and recognition for supporting the campaign
- including from Clean Up Britain celebrity supporters.
• Help make our community in Leamington - and the wider Coventry and Warwickshire area - an
even better place, to live, work, visit and invest in.
