We're starting up our National Landscape beach cleans in the Suffolk and Essex Coasts and Heaths again. We will start in Shotley, where we will return throughout the year to generate litter data for MCS. This is an event for National Landscape Beach Watch volunteers, event details can be found in the invitation email.

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.

Join us on the beach whilst there's still spaces!
