Volunteers are requested to bring their own gloves, hand sanitizer and litter pickers. <br /> The organiser will circulate detailed instructions and provide a briefing prior to the event, including health and safety information and the specific area of the beach being cleaned. <br /> The organiser will provide bags for collecting the litter and a wheel barrow for larger items. The litter will be analysed and recorded. <br /> There are toilets and hand washing facilities at East Links car park. <br />  

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.
