This beach clean was set up by my 10 year old daughter in reaction to her growingconcerns aboutthe local environment.

Following the success of the 1st clean, we have decided to host these  cleans every school holiday.

This is the 2nd Big Kids Beach Clean and we welcome everyone to join us! Please bring protective gloves, a bag and litter grabbers if you have any. 

We will meet to the left of the Beach Cafe. Please also join our Facebook group for any changes in times or dates.

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.
