Join us at the Great Western Beach on Saturday 20th September at 10:00 for the Marine Conservation Society's Great British Beach Clean 2025.

We will provide litter pickers, gloves and reusable bags. All you need is close toe shoes (no sandals, bare feet), clothing suitable for the weather on the day. We recommed a waterproof jacket, suncream and a hat.

All U16s must be supervised by a parent/ guardina for the full duration of the event. 

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.
