Litter picking equipment will be provided, but please dress appropriately for the weather, wear sensible sturdy footwear (wellies or walking boots) and bring a pair of gloves.

We will meet and carry out a MCS survey from 9am-10am and then continue with a big beach clean afterwards from 10 - 12, to get as much litter off the beach as we can. You don't need to commit to the whole morning - any time you can give is appreciated and will make a difference!  

Also worth knowing…

What to bring: We’d recommend you pack a rucksack with a few essentials like sunscreen, waterproofs, hand sanitiser, and perhaps some snacks and a drink (in a reusable bottle, of course).

What to wear: If you're picking up litter with your hands it's worth wearing a strong pair of gloves - like gardening gloves - just to make sure you're protected. Sturdy shoes are a must for protection too.

Under 16s: To comply with our insurance, volunteers under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult who will be asked to sign a parental / guardian consent form on the day by the beach clean organiser. 

99 spaces remaining - join us on the beach whilst there’s still spaces!
