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.
Please note this is a surveyed beach clean where you will be required to record each item collected onto a sheet provided.
Please wear sturdy, flat, waterproof shoes or boots.
It may be cold so wrap up warm and bring a warm drink or water (refreshments maybe purchased from the local pub if it’s open).
Bring gardening gloves or similar with you if you have some, and arrive for a safety briefing at 10am as the estuary can be a bit treacherous if you are not prepared!
The access can be muddy and slippery; a walking stick might help if it has been raining.
If you are driving, please do not park in the pub car park, please either use the pay & display car park within the marina or park along Pier Road being mindful not to obstruct resident’s driveways.
Please register as a group when volunteering as a family.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
