Autumn Safe & Clean Week 2026
A Review of The Week
2026 Autumn Safe & Clean Week took place on October 19th to October 23rd.
AUTUMN VOLUNTEER DAY
On Wednesday, our levy payers demonstrated their desire to go above and beyond, by coming out to volunteer, even in the wind and rain.
Twenty-five employees from Carson McDowell, Cleaver Fulton Rankin, Financial Times, Reddy Architects and Fratelli carried out litter picking and district planting for our final corporate volunteering event of the year. They weeded the flower beds on Ormeau Avenue, added shrubs and sewed wildflowers at Bankmore Square for the Spring. The litter picking team were supported by Live Here Love Here and worked in the busiest streets of the district.
We finished the event with some well-deserved pizza at Fratelli!
Thanks to all who came out, and those who have supported our events throughout the year. Our volunteering will recommence in Spring 2027 with Earth Day.
POLICE PATROLS AND DRUGS DOG
Our city centre policing team have conducted dog patrols throughout the district as part of Safe and Clean Week. This is a great way to engage with the public, deter crime and help community confidence. The team patrolled the busiest areas of the district and transport hub. They were also patrolling on foot and by car throughout the week.
SOS INFORMATION SESSION
SOS Bus NI is a vital night-time safety partner, with highly-trained volunteers supporting people on the streets of Belfast at weekends, and afternoon cover during the week. From providing pastoral care, transport home or in some cases life-saving treatment, SOS supports anyone who displays signs of vulnerability.
During SACW we attended an informative presentation and tour of the bus with CEO Micky Murray.

HOSPITALITY DEEP CLEAN
Our dedicated clean team were out each morning during Safe and Clean Week conducting a deep clean of all hotels and hospitality.
The team is available all year round, but for Safe and Clean Week, LQ invests in additional hours for an enhanced service.

CCTV AT BONE YARD
LQ BID recently worked with the Bone Yard to install CCTV around their premises. This was made possible through our Safer District fund, which provides grants of 50% for safety-related projects up to £5000.00.
The fund has been used by members for safety events, CCTV, and anti-graffiti murals, improving the safety of the district and those who work, socialise or live here.
