Great British Beach Clean
The Great British Beach Clean is our annual flagship event held in September every year, where thousands of volunteers clean hundreds of beaches all around the UK collecting litter data.
This data is shared with the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC), contributing to a worldwide report on litter levels. We also analyse the data and use the results to raise awareness of pollution and tackle it at source in the UK. Find out more about last year's results here.
