Gloves and litter pickers will be provided. I also have a couple of buckets and plastic bags. Feel free to bring your own gloves and/or buckets. Everyone is welcome! If you don't want to do the survey, there is plenty of space around to clean up and all efforts are immensely appreciated. We meet back again at the starting point after one hour to weight the rubbish and take a picture. 

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!
