HOW YOU CAN HELP

Attending a beach clean, volunteering, becoming a member, spreading the word, and fundraising.

Currently we are coaching and supporting various community groups to organise theri own beach cleans. Contact us with your community details if you would like us to come along. This would mean that a member of the team comes and does a talk, then organises a beach clean in the area. Subsequent beach cleans are then organised by the community group with support from us.
