Newton Porthcawl Beach Clean!
Join this beach clean to help us stop harmful litter from reaching the ocean and collect vital data that we can use to bring about positive change for our seas.
If you have any, please do bring a pair of gloves (sturdy, like gardening gloves) to ensure that there's plenty of our back-ups to go around on the day. Likewise, if you happen to have your own litter pickers, then feel free to bring them along.
If the weather isn't too great, it also helps to have our Beachwatch 'app' as opposed to the paper form on a windy/drizzly day. To download this, you can just search 'MCS Beachwatch App' on your browser and add the page to your home screen. When you log in with your MCS account, this beach clean will be available to start logging once it starts.
If you have any questions, my email should be visible on the right-hand side of this page.
Diolch yn fawr - I look forward to seeing you all!
Beach stretch details
From the second groyne (w3w: ///flashing.tailwind.releases) 100m away from the beach entrance up to w3w: ///villa.thrusters.rebel
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.
10 spaces remaining - join us on the beach whilst there’s still spaces!
