Sandilands Great British Beach Clean

As part of The Great British Beach Clean, let’s come together to care for Sandilands’ beautiful coastline and keep the sea safe for wildlife.

Every piece of litter we collect - whether it’s a lolly stick, a lost toy, or a stray bit of plastic - helps protect marine life and keeps our beaches cleaner. We’ll also be gathering vital data for the Marine Conservation Society, helping to track litter back to its source and campaign for real change.

By taking part, you’ll be making a real difference, because every small action adds up. Together, we can create a cleaner, healthier ocean for everyone to enjoy. Will you lend a hand?

This stretch covers the section of beach that borders National Trust Sandilands. 

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.
