Plum Pudding (Minnis Bay), Birchington
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.
The event involves a 15 minute walk to the starting point - and the litter survey and beach clean will last for the next 2 hours. Open to all to join in, but children will need to be supervised by a responsible adult. Litter sticks, hoops, and bags are provided (but please bring along your own garden gloves if you need gloves). Please wear appropriate clothing for weather on the day (windproof/rainproofs if windy &/or raining) & tough footwear for walking on the shingle beach.
Please also bring along your own water bottle, or refreshment, to quench your thirst! (although the kiosk and Brasserie are open, when you return).

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.
