A huge thank you to everyone organising events for this year. There are now several beaches that are getting busy with cleans over the 10-day GBBC period. These are: Brighton, Weston-Super-Mare, Felixstowe, Redcar, West Kirby, Lancing, Worthing and Formby.
If you're hoping to arrange a new beach clean at one of these locations, please get in touch with the Beachwatch team first and we can advise you on a suitable 100m beach stretch.
