Join us for the Great British Beach Clean at Trimley Marshes. On the day we will collect litter from a specified section of beach and then weigh and analyse the rubbish. This helps to see trends in what is being found with the hope of cutting it out better at source.

Free event for adults, teens and families. All equipment, tea, and coffee will be provided.

We are hoping to run a minibus shuttle will run from 10am – 11am from Searson's Farm car park to the reserve, and back at 2pm - TBC.

Only assistance dogs will be permitted on the beach for this event.

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.
