Sand Bay Spring 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.
Join us on beautiful Sand Bay for a spring clean-up!
The plan - meet at 11am, they'll be a short safety briefing, equipment will be handed out and then we'll start beach cleaning!
You can take part in the 100m litter survey we'll be doing - find out what this is and why this is so valuable here! - or you can just do some general cleaning, or both!
Equipment - all equipment is provided (gloves, bags, litter pickers, survey forms and clipboards) but some people prefer to bring their own gloves.
Car parking - the nearest car park is Sand Bay Car Park, BS22 9UE. There is a height barrier here (2.1m) & fee to park (all day, £2.50).
Loos - there are loos in Sand Bay Car Park (30p).
Dogs are allowed on Sand Bay.
Please dress for the weather - it can be very cold on Sand Bay!
Any questions at all and please get in touch...
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.
