GLOBE is for people who care passionately about our local environment.
We are:
working to improve and protect green spaces for the benefit of wildlife and local residents.
taking practical action on the ground as well as influencing policy and planning decisions.
Our activities include:
Practical events such as tree and hedge planting, rubbish clearance, graffiti removal and walks.
Encouraging Councillors and Council Officers to take action to improve the local environment.
Monitoring and commenting on planning applications and consultations on issues such as landscaping, flood risk, wildlife conservation, light pollution and visual impact.
Working with other local community, residents and conservation groups to further common aims.
Refubishing and planting the 22 wooden planter boxes in Central Caversham
Caversham GLOBE works in all parts of Reading Borough north of the Thames as well as adjoining areas along the riverside and into South Oxfordshire. We are an independent community-based group funded by donations from residents and local traders. We are one of several GLOBE groups set up in Reading in the mid-1990s following the Rio Earth Summit.
GLOBE Meetings & Mailing List
We meet on alternate months (usually on a Tuesday evening) to talk about local issues and make decisions (see Diary/ Events page for dates). Anyone is welcome to the meetings which are usually held in the upstairs meeting room at The Griffin, Church Road, Caversham RG4 7AD. If you would like to be added to our mailing list please email with your contact details and areas of interest. (see Contacts page). We have no annual subscription, all we ask is for your interest, support, ideas, expertise and energy.
Thanks everyone for a great effort at Milestone Woods yesterday!A mighty army of eighteen unleashed their fury on Milestone Woods at the east end of Caversham. A record player, mechanical skull contraption and plethora of miscellany joined the usual deeply embedded cans, crisp packets and broken bits of plastic that made up a huge haul of 22 large and 22 small bags of collected litter with bottles recycled at the handy local banks. It was great to collaborate with Caversham GLOBE and with the support of our The Duke of Edinburgh's Award volunteers. A resident was concerned about full dog waste bins and we mentioned this can be reported to Reading Borough Council also via the Love Clean Streets app which we used to report fly tipping.
We’d be exceptionally pleased if you can join our mission to de-crap Caversham by joining and liking our Keep Caversham Tidy & Keep Caversham Tidy pages with most details somewhere on our permanently temporary website: www.met.reading.ac.uk/~sgs02rpa/KCT/... See MoreSee Less
Excellent initiative which may be of interest to GLOBE supporters. As usual we there will be GLOBE litterpicks around Caversham over the Festival weekend from 22-25 August 2024, details TBC. ... See MoreSee Less
Thanks to Keep Caversham Tidy and GLOBE supporters who have been working on View Island, as well as a litterpick some of the overgrown paths have been cut back and graffiti cleaned.We might have been in Reading instead of Paris (hence the glorious weather) but today Team KCT definitely deserved medals for their Herculean effort in moving around 15 large bags of rubbish from View Island. A special thank you to Caversham GLOBE for cutting back brambles on Friday so the paths were clear for us. On Keep Britain Tidy #LoveParks week, team work won the day #LitterHeroes.
Next Saturday we take on Nire Road up to the Amersham Road Park meeting 10am as usual but be warned, it will inconceivably be August! We’d love it if you can keep up with our activities by following our Keep Caversham Tidy public page and joining our Keep Caversham Tidy private group & sign up here: forms.gle/WbizVitdP4EQELB46...
