Uphill Beach 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.
Join the Marine Conservation Society for a family-friendly beach clean and litter survey at Uphill Beach!
This event is open to all ages, but please note that under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Due to limited equipment, we kindly ask that you register your interest in advance to ensure your spot.
All necessary equipment will be provided for the clean-up. However, you are welcome to bring your own gloves if you prefer (gardening gloves work well). Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear comfortable footwear. Remember to bring water in a reusable bottle, as beach cleaning can be thirsty work!
We encourage the use of sustainable transport to the event. If you are driving, the nearest car park is at Links Rd, Uphill, Weston-super-Mare BS23 4XY.
The clean and litter survey will last between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes depending on how much litter we find.
We'll be kicking off promptly at 12pm noon, so please allow enough time to get down to the beach from the car park.
For any questions or additional information, please contact Hayley at [email protected].
Hope to see you on the beach!
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.
