Earth Day 2024: A Community Triumph in Stanwell Moor
April 19th, 2024
On April 19th, 2024, Stanwell Moor Village witnessed a remarkable gathering of community spirit and environmental stewardship during the Earth Day celebrations hosted at The Anchor. This event, proudly sponsored by the Stanwell Moor Residents Association (SMRA) along with other local businesses and councils, highlighted the community’s commitment to combating pollution and enhancing our local environment.
Community and Commitment: The Heart of Earth Day 2024
The day kicked off at 11:30 AM at The Anchor, where residents and sponsors gathered to discuss the cleanup plan. The initiative, focusing on the theme “Planet vs. Plastics,” aimed to address the pressing issue of plastic pollution. Participants, equipped with enthusiasm and cleanup gear, embarked on a village-wide effort from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, working together to collect nearly 75 bags of rubbish.
The Anchor’s Pledge and Community Involvement
The Anchor, located at the heart of Stanwell Moor, led this initiative by not only hosting the event but also actively participating in the cleanup efforts. Their pledge to support Earth Day activities annually underlines their integral role in fostering community engagement and environmental responsibility.
Celebrating Post-Cleanup Success
Following the cleanup, participants returned to The Anchor for a well-deserved outdoor lunch. This gathering was not just a moment to relax, but also a celebration of the day’s accomplishments.
Gratitude and Future Engagement
SMRA extends a heartfelt thank you to all the participants, including local businesses like TW19 Staines, Surrey County Council, Spelthorne Borough Council, Heathrow Airport, Airpets, Aymer Clearance, Biffa, Costa Carwash, and Town Farm Primary School. Their contributions were invaluable in making this day a success.
A Lasting Impact
The overwhelming positive feedback from the participants highlights the event’s success and the community’s eagerness to engage in future environmental projects. SMRA is inspired by the passion and dedication shown and looks forward to continuing these efforts to keep Stanwell Moor clean and vibrant.

Improving the neighbourhood
Clearing up the corner opposite Silverbrook and the river was an aim for the Association. It was overgrown and blocking light to the property behind it.
Ted and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Earth Day.
Special thank you to Arvinda and Peter for doing a lot of the organising and to all the team at SMRA in leading this event. It’s wonderful what you all do
