Meeting point: Bawdsey Quay IP12 3AX (what3words: prominent.elbowed.unfair). There is limited parking on the Quay, so pl use the main car park just inland (what3words: pine.banter.stability) and walk to the Quay. 

Weather: the event will go ahead unless the weather is dangerous.

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.
