We will provide kit - gloves, litter pickers, bags, and buckets, but we welcome you to bring your own if you have any. We have a limited number of children's gloves.
While we anticipate that this beach clean should be able to go ahead, it will be subject to the weather - while rain is not too much of a problem, if the wind is too high we will not proceed. If the clean-up is going to be cancelled for any reason, we will notify you through Eventbrite (you will be emailed) and on our social media.
Our community beach cleans are open to individuals and small groups. If you're a business or corporate group looking to join, for your volunteering hours or team-building, we’ll need to arrange a bespoke private clean for you. These private cleans support our charity through a donation, ensuring we can continue our important work. Get in touch via [email protected] to book your tailored experience.
