We estimate that the partnership will help volunteers to collect over 150,000 pieces of litter from UK beaches this year – up to 4,000kg of waste that would otherwise end up in our ocean.
With the support of our corporate partners and volunteers, we're able to clear up our coastline and collect vital information on what's polluting our seas.

The data collected by volunteer-submitted litter surveys enables us to campaign for positive change to protect the ocean, and has already helped implement plastic bag charges, better wet wipe labelling, and support a tax on single-use plastic items.
2023 marks the second year that we've partnered with Cully & Sully on our Great British Beach Clean. Known for their delicious soups, Cully & Sully also have a passion for the ocean and our natural environment, and have supported beach cleaning in Ireland for many years.
Cullen Allen, aka Cully of Cully and Sully soups, said he is “delighted Cully and Sully are sponsoring the Great British Beach Clean for a second year. As watersports enthusiasts this initiative is very close to our hearts. Marine litter is such a big issue. We love that this campaign takes action and reminds us of the importance of disposing and recycling our waste properly”.
