Ingoldmells BeachCare
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.
Join us for a Friday morning on the beach, where we will be clearing litter pollution from our marine environment.
Plastic litter blights local community spaces, including our beaches. We know that 80% of marine litter comes from the land, and it can kill wildlife – on land small mammals get trapped in cans and plastic bottles, and at sea turtles eat plastic bags and marine birds ingest micro-plastics. Join us to help our local wildlife.
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.
