ADDED SPACES FOR PUBLIC AND FAMILY GROUPS ONLY - WE ARE SOLD OUT FULLY FOR ANY MORE EMPLOYEE / CORPORATE GROUPS. If you are a larger group from an organisation we have no more space for groups on this beach clean - you can find alternative options here: Organise a beach clean for your volunteer day with the Marine Conservation Society | Marine Conservation Society (mcsuk.org)

Join us for a beach clean and litter survey to help the Marine Conservation Society gather vital data to keep pushing for the reduction of marine litter.

There are public toilets close to the meeting point and parking at Cramond Beach Car Park Cramond Glebe Rd, Cramond, Edinburgh EH4 6NU.

Please dress for the weather with layers, sun protection and sturdy shoes. All other litter picking equipment 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.
