Great British Beach Clean
Join this beach clean to help us stop harmful litter from reaching the ocean and collect vital data that we can use to bring about positive change for our seas.
What to bring: We always recommend you pack a rucksack with a few essentials like sunscreen, waterproofs, hand sanitiser, a bag to collect your rubbish in, gloves (gardening gloves will do) and a litter picker if you wish to use one.
A member of our team is a first aider and we do have public liability insurance. But please note that litter picking is done at your own risk so please listen to any safety instructions before the clean starts.
We will be collecting the rubbish at the end to record our findings so we can send them to The Marine Conservation Society for their data.
To meet at the top of the slipway at Orcombe Point at 8:30am.
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.
