Family-friendly GBBC Campaign launch beach clean

Join the Marine Conservation Society for a family-friendly beach clean and litter survey along Cramond beach. I am running this to help kick-off the start of our Great British Beach Clean promotional period (taking place from 19th - 28th September 2025) .

All ages welcome. Under 16's will need to be accompanied by an adult. As there is a cap on the number of people we can provide equipment for, please register your interest so you don't miss out.

Please note there is a free car park at the beach and frequent bus services to Cramond. There are free public toilets available at the beach.

Equipment:

All equipment will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own gloves if you prefer (gardening gloves are fine). Please dress for the weather and bring comfortable footwear. Water in a reusable bottle is advised.

Please note that press may be in attendance at this event.  We may be looking for volunteers who would be willing to potentially take part in a short interview, though this is not required! If you would be interested in this or happy to take part on the day, please drop an email to the contact listed.

Hope to see you there!

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.
