"They are a very active group, led by Conrad Woolley and Trish Savill, and they do an amazing job to keep Brackley beautiful."

She said many of the home's residents were eager to take part in the event.

Brackley Litter Wombles, named after the environmentally conscious Wombles of Wimbledon Common, from the popular 1970s children's television programme, have built up an impressive 400-plus membership and host regular events, including weekly Wednesday Wombles.
