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
Part of the annual Great British Beach Clean
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.
We will undertake a MCS Beachwatch survey to record the types of marine litter washing up in Arrochar, as well as a beach clean.
Make sure to bring gloves, sturdy footwear and appropriate clothing for the weather. It's been scorching hot when I've litter picked here in the past, so sun cream/sun glasses/hat aren't a bad idea, although being Scotland, perhaps you should pack your thermals too....
It'll be a great day, though don't feel you have to attend for the whole day. I'll wear a hi-viz tabard so that you can find me.
