A children's charity near Newtown is teaming up with an environmental organisation to launch a litter-picking challenge aimed at raising funds for young carers and vulnerable children.
The Honeypot Children's Charity, based at Pen y Bryn House near Dolfor, will welcome representatives from Binit on Wednesday, August 26, as the organisation launches its involvement in this year's Challenge for Change: The Continental Challenge.
Binit has already donated £10,000 to Honeypot and will encourage people throughout September to get active, clean up their local communities and raise money for the charity at the same time.
The launch event will give Binit representatives the opportunity to tour Pen y Bryn House, learn more about Honeypot's work and meet children enjoying a residential respite break at the centre.
They will also take part in a litter pick around the grounds, while children at the house will take part in a creative recycling challenge, transforming everyday waste materials into imaginative creations.
Ajmal Kahn, director of Binit, said: "We're delighted to be launching the Binit Challenge for Change with The Honeypot Children's Charity.
"The challenge is all about bringing people together to take positive action, getting out into their local communities, picking up litter and helping to make shared spaces cleaner and better for everyone."
He said Binit chose to support Honeypot because its work shares the same goal of making a positive difference to children and communities.
Honeypot supports young carers and children aged five to 12 who are experiencing difficult circumstances through respite breaks and ongoing support.

Chief executive Simmi Woodwal said: "Binit's support is a wonderful example of how businesses can combine fundraising with something that has a positive impact on their local communities.
"We are incredibly grateful for their generous £10,000 donation and delighted that they have chosen to support Honeypot through Challenge for Change."
Throughout September, Challenge for Change is inviting people to collectively travel 100,000 kilometres, representing a journey across all seven continents, while raising £100,000 for children's charities.
Participants can walk, run, cycle, swim or choose their own activity, either individually or as part of a team.
The campaign follows the success of the inaugural Challenge for Change in 2025, which attracted participants from 11 countries, supported 31 children's charities and raised more than £45,000.
