2 October 2011

On Monday 17 October at noon, we're asking everyone to give us five minutes of their time as part of a special Love Where You Live Day of Action across the country.

We're giving everyone the chance to show their support for Love Where You Live as part of the day and you can be part of it too by giving just five minutes of your time at noon on 17 October to show your support.

We are asking councils, schools, businesses and any other individuals and organisations to stop what they are doing for a few minutes and show a little love to their local area.

It could be a litter pick outside your offices, a spot of weeding in a public place or just telling someone you know about the campaign and how to get involved. Whatever you decide to do, as Big Ben strikes 12 noon please show that you care and be part of a national movement.

Events will be taking place across England on 17 October, with major set-piece activities planned in Wigan, Birmingham and London. You can tell us what you have planned on Facebook and Twitter, but don't forget to post news of your event on this website too.

The more of us that get involved, the more we can change things for the better! Watch this space for more details on the Day Of Action and further information about how you can join in.
