Dig out your Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka dot Bikini (or Mankini) and join us for the Chelmsford Star Big Beach Clean up. Bring your own equipment if you do have it, if you don't we will be able to provide some too, sturdy footwear and gloves are advised also 

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.
