Mike Walsh (Trustee) had an international working career, including 27 years working in Saudi Arabia, that brought wide and successful business experience. He was Chairman for 3 years of Riyadh Group of British Businessmen, who try to promote the growth of trade in goods and services between Britain and Saudi Arabia. In 2017 Mike retired to France and brought life and character back to a large farm property.
When there he was impressed by the work of CSF (cancersupportfrance.org) and the way they give support for English-speaking people touched by cancer in France. Leading the local independent association, he gave significant time and effort to help those in need in his area of France.
Fortunate to have made contact with George Monck in the eighties and having watched in recent times the determination and success of CleanupUK, he sees it as a way to express his interest in helping those who live in poor inner city areas to help themselves and their communities to grow in confidence and thereby establish a better place.
Mike also knows that litter does not only happen in inner cities.
Plastic waste blows across the deserts of Arabia and the hedgerows of Oxfordshire’s roads harbour so much litter and debris. Now in an England with an over emphasis on self interest and lack of care in their communities, he is committed to achieve as much as possible to have a clean Home Front.
