Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful, known until 2014 as TIDY Northern Ireland,[1] is a non-profit environmental organisation based in Northern Ireland.[2] In addition to running the "Keep Northern Ireland Tidy" campaign, it supports or provides grants for local environmental programmes such as the 'Beautiful Beach Awards',[3] litter surveys,[4] a 'Marine Litter Report',[5][6] local gardening projects,[7][8] Eco-Schools,[9] Green Coast Awards, TIDY Business and Borough Cleanliness Survey.[10]

The organisation is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland and, as of 2022, had 13 employees.[2]

Overview

Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful produces information on the cleanliness of Northern Ireland that is used to direct resources to environmental quality issues.[9] It has conducted campaigns and public information on litter including youth litter,[11] car litter, gum deposition, drug related litter, fast food litter.[12] It has also campaigned on a number of other anti-social behaviour issues such as fly-tipping, dog fouling and neighbourhood noise. The organisation's work falls into three main areas: campaigning to get public action, the delivery of programmes to enable partners to deliver action in the community and the production of research and survey results to measure the quality of the local environment.[13]

Much of the organisation's work overlaps with the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment (NI) Act 2011, The Litter (NI) Order 1994 and The Waste and Contaminated Land (NI) Order 1997.[citation needed] The organisation goals are to help local authorities and other agencies deliver improved local environmental services tailored to community needs.
