The first beach clean of the winter for Leestit, so there might be a bit of rubbish to sort out!

Bring suitable gloves, and wrap up warm.

We'll confirm nearer the time to ensure the weather is suitable, so look for updates at Stackhoull, in the Fair Isle Times, or ask David (Shirva).  

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. 

29 spaces remaining - join us on the beach whilst there’s still spaces!
