Following the latest restrictions, governments across the UK have updated their guidance on volunteering. Volunteering can continue provided you do not need to self-isolate, you follow social distancing guidance and are Covid-secure.
Your safety is of utmost importance to us. Where possible, we are happy for volunteers to run small, private beach cleans with their family or allocated bubble, but please always check and follow national and local guidelines around lock down restrictions, along with the following rules:
To help we have updated all our resources including the health and safety guidelines and Q&A. Please do have a look at these and review the government advice before you start.
If you’ve never run a beach clean or litter survey before we’re happy to help you get started. Please give our team a call on 01989 567807 or email us at Beachwatch@mcsuk.org
To join us on this beach clean, please first register as a volunteer. You will then be able to sign up to this event on this page to let us know that you will be coming.
RSPB Scotland's Dolphinwatch are joining up with Surfers Against Sewage for our first beach clean of the new year.
Start of the New Year by giving back to your local community and helping to protect the local wildlife by joining us for what we hope will be our biggest beach clean of the year (although we will try to beat it!).
We will be meeting on the lower deck of the esplanade opposite the beach ballroom on Saturday 12 January 2019. The clean will start at 10:30 and we will meet back at 12:30 to sort the litter and take a group photo of our efforts.
All equipment will be provided, including gloves, little picks and bags. Everyone is welcome to join us as we will be trying to spread out as far along Aberdeen Beach as we can to collect as much litter as possible.
Every piece of litter we collect helps protect wildlife and allows us to enjoy spending time on beaches that are clean and safe.
To help ensure the safety of all involved, more information on times will be provided once tide times can be determined.
