Limassol Municipality recognises Anna Gubareva and City Friends Club for making city cleaner

The Mayor of Limassol, Nicos Nicolaides, and the members of the municipal council awarded Anna Gubareva, the founder of City Friends Club (CFC), a non-profit organisation that has introduced and supports efficient waste-collection infrastructure, in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the community. The Limassol Municipal Council unanimously decided to present Anna Gubareva with the official emblem of the city, the Lion of the Ancient Amathus.

Anna Gubareva founded CFC in 2020, with the aim of contributing to the elimination of waste in the city. Since then, the organisation has grown to include hundreds of volunteers and tens of supporters.

"I am pleased to present our emblem to Anna Gubareva and City Friends Club for their commitment and contribution to keep our city clean," said Mayor Nicolaides. "Their work is an inspiration to all of us, and we are grateful for their dedication and commitment to our community."

City Friends Club is a group of like-minded people who believe that living in a clean city should be a basic human right. "I am honored to receive this award on behalf of everyone at the Club which I thank for their hard work to achieve our goals. I would also like to thank my husband Alexey Gubarev, for his continuous support to our efforts," said Anna Gubareva. "Our mission is to make Limassol a cleaner, healthier, and more beautiful place to live, but also to promote conscious consumption and sustainable lifestyle."

The award ceremony took place at Limassol City Hall on 30 March 2023 and was attended by local officials, community leaders, members of the public, and the team members of CFC.

CFC strives to make an impact on the city, focusing on specific areas such as street cleaning, proper disposal of bulky waste, and targeted projects that aim to transform Cyprus into a conscious community against waste.
