Ongar Cleanup: A Heartfelt Thanks to Our Volunteers
Today, the Ongar community came together in an inspiring display of teamwork and civic pride. Volunteers of all ages joined forces to make a real difference during our latest neighbourhood cleanup. Thanks to everyone’s hard work, we collected an impressive 15 bags of litter from the streets of Ongar, Dublin 15. From bottles and cans to general waste, every piece removed has helped make our community a cleaner, more pleasant place to live.
As we sorted through the rubbish, it became clear that littering is still a persistent issue. Items like plastic wrappers, drink containers, and even some odd finds turned up in everyday pedestrian areas. Yet, today's efforts showed what we can accomplish when we unite behind a common cause. Every small action added up to something big—and we’re so proud of everyone who took part.
This event was more than just a cleanup—it was a powerful reminder of the community spirit that defines Ongar. And while this was a major success, our work doesn’t stop here.
A Huge Thank You to Our Volunteers
To each and every volunteer who came out today—thank you. Whether you helped for an hour or stayed until the last bag was filled, your contribution mattered. Your energy and commitment were truly inspiring, and your efforts did not go unnoticed.
Not only did you help beautify the area, but you also raised awareness about the importance of protecting our shared spaces. It was heartening to see so many different faces—from long-time residents to new neighbours—all working together with a shared sense of purpose.
This spirit of volunteerism is what makes Ongar so special. It’s not just about picking up litter—it’s about nurturing pride in where we live and inspiring others to join us in creating lasting change.

Although today’s cleanup was a great success, there’s still more work to be done. Litter doesn’t disappear on its own, and that’s why we need your help.
