As part of Great Big Green Week and The Big Help Out, join us for a beach clean at Sandilands and help protect local marine life this World Ocean Day. Together, we’ll be supporting the Marine Conservation Society by helping stop harmful litter from reaching the ocean, while collecting important data that supports campaigns for cleaner, healthier beaches. We’ll provide gloves, bags and litter-pickers, but if you’d prefer to bring your own equipment, please feel free. Please wear suitable outdoor clothing and sturdy walking boots or shoes.

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. 

Join us on the beach whilst there's still spaces!
