As part of Climate Week, the Conservation Volunteering Society and ENSA (your Students' Union) have partnered to organise a beach clean with Napier students, staff and alumni🌊🌍

We will be meeting in front of the Portobello Swim Centre on the Promenade on Portobello Beach, on Saturday 4th October 2025 at 12pm (noon).

If you are keen to help, get more details and register to join the group. (it will ask you to create an account first).

What to bring:

- weather-proof clothing

- wellies or closed shoes

- a snack 

- water bottle

Please register for free by no later than 2pm on Thursday 2 October. This is so that we have enough equipment for you to collect waste with.

This is a free event open to everyone connected to Napier. If you have any accessibility needs please let us know at ENSA@napier.ac.uk so we can accommodate you.

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. 

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