SUPER September Beach Clean
Join this beach clean to help us stop harmful litter from reaching the ocean and collect vital data that we can use to bring about positive change for our seas.
📅The plan: meet at 4pm - there will be a short safety briefing, equipment will be handed out and we will ask people to pair up. We will litter pick until around 6pm before meeting up again to go for food with compliments from Shish Mezze. Please note, this is a first ask, first guaranteed offer as they are feeding us at no charge. Please get in touch to book your spot! Thank you.
🚯Equipment: most equipment is provided (gloves, reusable Surfers Against Sewage bags, bin bags, some litter pickers) but please bring your own if you're able to.
🚙Car parking: the nearest parking is The Sovereign Centre. Further details can be found here: http://www.sovereign.superweston.net/
🚂Public transport: Weston has both a train station and bus terminus. Our town, beach and meet up event are very close to both so please plan your journey ahead.
🚾Toilets: the nearest public toilets are along the seafront Promenade (30p) or in the friendly local businesses (please just ask). 🙏🏼
🐾Dogs: The area between Royal Sands and the Grand Pier marked in blue on the map, is off-limits to dogs from 1st May to 30th September between 9am and 7pm and dogs are never permitted at Marine Lake. Details can be found here: https://www.visit-westonsupermare.com/reasons-to-visit/dog-friendly#:~:text=Dog%20Walking,-Dogs%20are%20permitted&text=of%20the%20beach.-,The%20area%20between%20Royal%20Sands%20and%20the%20Grand%20Pier%20marked,not%20permitted%20at%20Marine%20Lake.
♻️Please dress for the weather - wear safe and sturdy shoes and bring a reusable cup with you. Updates on the event regarding weather will be shared across our social media platforms. Pack a hat and some sun cream, too. Prepare for all 4 seasons in 1 day!
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.
