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.

This is a joint event with the Sussex Wildlife Trust and MCS. The aim of the day is to carry out a beach litter clean and survey and afterwards carry out a Shoresearch survey (timed species search and walkover) and hopefully incorporate some Big Seaweed Search ID too.
Both elements will provide some really useful data and the chance to get involved with some similar projects between MCS and SWT.

Please register to show your interest/attendance.
All beach cleaning equipment will be provided and please wear sturdy/waterproof shoes. Wellies would be best.
