Drop Bear Beer Co. is launching it's inaugural beach clean and is offering a free award winning non alcoholic beer to anyone who takes part (over the age of 18).

We encourage volunteers to arrive from 11:45am onwards to receive the forms and equipment. 

With the ongoing pandemic, we do advise for volunteers to bring their own litter picking equipment, to reduce the risk of transmission, however, some equipment, sanitise, and cleaning spray will be provided.

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.
